Dear Reader,
Sometimes, i still can't believe that i live in Inida. But really, India feels like my home now. Home is where the heart is, and i have made some pretty incredible friends here that have taken hold of my heart and practically stolen the whole thing for themselves. I miss my group of friends back home a lot, but i've grown up so much here surrounded by all of these people who are growing up with me, going through the same things, that i can't help but think of India as my home. My best friend Veerle is from Holland. It's pretty ironic actually because we were supposed to move to India last year, so i would have been here for my 10th and 11th grade years, and Veerle wasn't supposed to move here until next year, so we would have never even met.
But both of our plans got changed and we ended being here for the same 2 years...pretty crazy. She is absolutely amazing, we have so much in common and we talk about absolutely everything. I can't imagine living without her in my life, and it's weird to think how close we are and we've only known eachother for 7 months.. Sometimes i just sit and ponder in awe at the fact that i live in India, and some of my best friends in the whole world, are literally from all over. Taawwuz, one of my best friends whom i adore, is from New Zealand. SungHyun and JaeHo (who i sing with :) ) are from Korea, and i have a huge group of friends who are from India. Ron, one of my really close friends that i absolutely love is from Israel, my other best girlfriend Alina is from Spain, I have friends from France, Germany, China, Japan, and even Canada. I can't imagine my life now without them. There's a lot of things i miss from the US, but there's also a lot of things i don't. India has it's ups and downs, but overall it is pretty amazing.
What's even more crazy to think about is the fact that i graduate in about a year. And then i move back to the US and go to Utah (hopefully) for college where i start fresh all over again. Life move's way too fast, and i'm growing up so much faster than i can even grasp. I'm almost half way done with my India adventure and then i get to start a whole new one back home. It's hard to even wrap my head around. I'm almost 17 and i won't turn 18 until i'm already in college...it's all coming up so fast. I wish it would all slow down, but i know it won't so i need to keep taking advantage of every opportunity and every new adventure that gets thrown at me here in India. It's been a pretty incredible ride to say the least.
With all my heart,
Kayla
