i’m in my crazy place

i had the last class of my undergraduate college career today. what? didn’t freshman orientation JUST happen? i’m slightly (or a little more than slightly) overwhelmed by the amount of work i have to finish between now and monday, and i’m sleep has definitely been in short supply. i’m in my crazy place, crying at least once a day (but not because i’m sad) and forgetting to eat most meals (i honestly just forget). however…

i’m graduating in just over a week. i’m getting married to the love of my life in two weeks. and i’m moving to florida in three. 

motivation or distraction? i’d say it’s a little bit of both. but i’m beyond excited and i’m happier than i’ve ever been!

A Word for the Third Culture Kid

What is described are feelings so deep that you can scarcely give words to them. Your throat catches and you try and describe intense longing and desire only to remain wordless. How do I know this? Because I have experienced it first hand. What we long to describe is “Saudade”.

I have a clear recognition that they will never go back to the place where they feel most at home. I realistically accept this but not without “Saudade”.
