I am home.
And absolutely nothing has changed.. well no, there is a new gym where the movie store used to be and there is mounds of snow on the ground, but the important stuff, the people, they haven't changed at all. This did, however, reassure me on what I already knew. Vernon is not the place for me. Not right now anyway. Don't get me wrong, this will always be home and I love the people I have grown up with here, but I am not nearly finished travelling. Maybe one day I will go to school somewhere, maybe not, and I've struggled a bit with this thought, but right now I'm okay with it. Maybe I will end up settling down in Vernon years down the road, with a career and family, maybe I will never stop exploring our world, maybe I will die tomorrow, who knows. All we can really do is what makes us happy in that moment. Right now I have aspirations to become employed in the dive industry within the next year and hope this will give me more opportunity to travel and experience yet a new culture, but even if we have a plan we can never really be sure how it will unfold into our lives.
That's the beauty of it.
The world spins madly on.
