It is supposed to rain for almost the entirety of this trip. I'm kind of looking forward to spending countless hours in cafes sipping coffee while I read.

I say I don't miss Christmas at home, and it's true, but that doesn't mean I don't miss home. The whole idea of Christmas has just changed for me.
Walking home from the watching the Packer game after being thrifty with my money. I put my ear buds in and remember who I am as my favourite song comes on. I am so happy to be me.

I walked past and old folks home near the "artsy" suburb on Hamburg. As I watched one group all eating there dinner together at 5pm, and another playing a game of cards I had to wonder what these homes will look like for my generation. It saddened me to think about how isolated we will all be.

Soon I won't have to always be waiting to see you. This life we have chosen is so weird and awkward and strangely beautiful.

My heart breaks now when I watch movies where young people in love say goodbye just because of distance. I know it's a big factor, but it is ONE factor.
