We went with a mission to teach but we returned being taught. Everyday was lessons on human nature, loss, turmoil, nature, beauty, simplicity and love.
I'm back
The team has caused me to realise that situations can be reverted. The Cambodians has shown me selflessness. The teachers has shown me what trusting wholeheartedly means. I have returned believing that it is worth it to take risks. And these lessons can not be taught with other methods but only with actions. By proving each and every of my doubts wrong, they have ignited the flame on my candle and caused me to believe in hoping once again.
I've changed
I'm a different person already
Last night when I touched down, two of my favourite people came to welcome me and after having a meal together we cabbed home. She told me about what has changed the most in the span of 13days that I haven't been around. She said that she has agreed. If I had not went to Cambodia, my reaction would have been "I can't believe it" but 11 hours ago, on the backseat of a Translink cab, the first thought I had was to imagine how elated the both of them were at that moment. Him who waited quite awhile to finally pop the question and she who let love override expectations. I was happy to know that here's yet another two people who can show me that to stop wondering, action has to be taken. And that was why my first sentence to her upon hearing that was "I'm sure he was very happy right" :)
Anyway, it's a nice feeling to have someone to hold and to love freely and here's my best wishes to both of you! You have my full support and unlike others, I have no doubt at all about how happy you would always make my friend feel and how you would always stand by her in good and bad times. I am confident that you will prove yourself. May the love be with you, lol
Not as skeptical as I used to be anymore
