Leaving the Nest

I originally wanted to blog much earlier, but I felt that most of what I was going to blog was just rants and peeves I've had with my parents, and I'm pretty sure no one would want to read whole recounts of squabbles that went on. Now that everything is pretty much set, I feel that I'm in a better mind set to write.

Well, I'm sitting in the airport lounge. I feel kind of nervous and excited. I am moving to a new place, so it should be natural that I am kind of worried. If I wasn't, then I'd be quite worried and question if I'm in the right mind set for moving to a new country. I think I'm ready to move away from home. During my college years, home still felt like I wanted to stay at forever, but now I feel that I'm ready to go see the world. I never thought I would see the day where I would feel ready to leave home and live in the open world. Home was always a shelter for me to get away from the world. It's a scary place out there, and I don't think I would have been able to handle it in college. Now I definitely feel ready to explore different places. I think three summers abroad got my feet wet enough for today. I know I still have a lot to learn in this world, but I feel I have learned a lot and able to handle the challenges that come along. I can't wait to finally begin this journey. My next post will be in Japan, so look forward to it! I'll take pictures of my tiny tiny room! XD
