It's 3:34 am and I can't sleep
scared to leave
yet ready to go
avoiding tears
just spreading meaningful goodbyes
their faces stay on my mind:
i came
knew no one
met friends
study português
picked up my lost heart in the Brazilian sun
buried it in the bottom of the praia for next time
determined to return
to find more of self
here.
no roots here
just the same
blood
I don't know how these comment things work. Will you see this. I hope. Leslie. I love you. What you wrote is something to keep forever. I am realizing the beauty of self documentation. You sound like you had a lovely time. This goodbye gave me goosebumps. Please try and visit us while we are here! May the school year bring you adventure like that you found in Brazil/Brasil. Mucho amor, y necesitas que ensenarme lo que aprendiste!
