She Meets Life

I was a bit hesitant about the title of this blog since I wasn't sure if it was new or an old perspective. For as long as I can remember, I always thought myself as an "international" student. A student that will simply learn the ways of the new environment, systems and then return home to where she belonged. But where did she belong in the first place? Technically, I am an exchange/international student but trying to grasp and understand the new information here is simultaneously overwhelming and tiresome.

I had a conversation with my brother and told him that I had a new blog posted and his response was "you know, we have a life too." I guess it hit me.. I didn't really feel like writing in this blog after he said that. I mean...he's right. Everyone has their own life. We all have work/school, kids to take care of, bills to pay, events to attend, etc. It was a bit depressing to know that my blog isn't viewed by my relatives but it was also strange as well...because I didn't miss them. I didn't miss them but I wanted them to read what I had done or experienced or observed. It doesn't make sense. Then I had a skype date with one of my best friends and she said that she still visits my blog and reads the things I write. I guess when you think no one's there to read your blog, there is someone. lol af...
