Family and friends,
It seems as if I always find ways to make myself busy, that my to-do lists are constantly growing even when I move to the other side of the world, only work about 30 hours a week, have few people that share my language, and only a handful of people that I spend my time with!
So life keeps moving. It is so fast I can barely keep up with it! How can I be so intentional about becoming who I want to be, while living in the moment, while cherishing the past at the pace life goes? Seconds are too quick and I have found that days seem to be as well. Months too as it has already been 2 of those since we arrived... and I am sure after a year I will wonder where all that time went!
I first thought I would have so much time, but I have yet to put into REAL practice my decision that I need to be still. To just sit. To think. To actively reflect upon who I want to be and how I can become that. It seems exhausting to be so intentional in life, and sometimes I wish I could just.. be..! I shared with a friend; "Why can't everyone just be?" and she replied; "Why can't everyone just be intentional!?"
So I journey ahead and put that on my to-do list.
I guess besides updating on my personal confusion and possibly mid-life crisis at the age of 23 (24 in Korea) I should update you all on what has happened over the past few weeks. Stay posted as it is getting late and I will try and write something within the next few days. (also on to-do list).
Hope you are all doing well. I do miss home often; even in the midst of quite the adventure here I often think of people and comforts back home so stay safe and know you are loved and thought of from an ocean away!
Love,
Shana
