Reflections...

6months, 180 days.... wow. As i look at my almost empty corner of my room, i cant help but want to say "well done, i did it."

Being in France, a country that i love to hate.... and hate to love, for the past 6 months was indeed and eye opening experience. New friendships forged, new places visited, doing new stuff. i've probably grown so much more here, than in army.

i have a supportive family back home, and my adopted family here to keep me sane (or insane for that matter). Thanks to them, i've gained so much here. And i realised that in life, there are certain risks and certain sacrifices you have to make if you want something to happen. I managed to pass my courses..... despite not studying that much. To me, studying wasnt the most important thing here... i flew halfway around the world to see the world. And in a way, i feel like the luckiest person right now.

*My thoughts are really random right now so i am spewing out nonsense*

3 more hours before i take the tram.... i am going to miss so many things here..... the sights and sounds of Vieux Lyon, the view of Croix Rousse from Pont Bonaparte that never ceases to take my breath away..... the Fourviere which we mounted countless times.... Parc tete d'or. I realised i may never come back here again....

But i think its time for me to go home.... i am really going to miss this shitty place that i now call my second home. And its always better to leave when u are feeling high.... than to leave hating it....

So. Au Revoir Lyon.... i will miss you. really. And to my friends.... may u achieve the best in life and may we meet again in the future!

Bisous
