There are definitely things I miss sorely about Vietnam (granted, not all) and there have been things I have missed about being home, the company over prata, or otherwise. I have brought home the mood from Vietnam however, and unlike any other semester, feel more mentally unprepared than ever for school to begin, with outstanding administrative matters to settle. More than just school, I feel unready to do ANYTHING, except just give myself some time to merely be, and think about these crossroads I find myself in. I have invested so much in a kind of life the past one and half years (which is really many a thing) that now, I’m not sure if I want to continue in any of those directions. That scares me sometimes and I feel like I need to figure things out before doing simply ANYTHING.
Specifically, sometimes I feel like I should insulate myself and walk away. just like I’ve been taught to before. But there’s something in the water..
