Wow! I finally found my way onto this blog again! Though Im sure no one is reading it these days because I have not written in a year.
Well I'm back in the United States. Dealt with it better than I would have ever imagined. However in the last few days I have become increasingly eager to return to Mexico and increasingly sad..missing Mexico and all that I experienced. And it't not just one thing that I miss, and I cannot even pinpoint exactly what I miss, but it's an overall feeling that I felt, and that I no longer feel-things that i did, people I grew to love. There are pluses and minuses to each place we live. But the thing is, I fell in love with my life in Mexico, and it became a part of me. And different from my journey to Mexico or to college, my return to the US gives me a real sense of finality. I may visit and who knows, maybe work or live a few years in Mexico yet, but I will never return to life that I just lived. And everyone in Mexico does tell me, come back! you are always welcome here in your home here. That feels real good.
I think I have been "repressing Mexico" since I have returned home. But I think now I'm going to blog about my experiences in Mexico, in order to process and because many people have complained about my lack of blog regularity.... and in order to stop repressing my dear Mexico.
