המקום שלי

Its amazing what a change of pace can do. I went away, went home. Well I guess it isn’t really home anymore. I felt more like a tourist. And of course you don’t realize how important family is to you until they are so far away.

Not many people understand the strength it takes to pack up and leave your entire life behind you, friends, family…I did it, and worse so I did it for love. Its takes an even stronger person to continue raising two children alone in this country when your ideals crumble. So going home was a real change of pace for me.

I tried so hard to switch and leave everything here behind me, thinking I could come back with a clean slate, well not only did it follow me, the slate is no cleaner than before I left.

I know though that as long as I am true to myself, that slate will disappear. I have come back stronger. More certain of what I want. My belief that it exists is what gives me the strength to fight these pitiful games that everyone plays.

I am me, the best I can be
Take me as I am or leave me be
