As I reflect on these past three months as a whole experience, it is difficult for me to come up with one cohesive piece of writing to sum it up.
It is easiest to talk about the more concrete internal and external changes that have taken place. The reasons why those changes have taken place here and now will have to wait.
Family:
We have built a family together. We KNOW each other to the core. We. are. so. lucky.
Spirituality:
A weight has been lifted. There is no answer, no single path to liberation, no rush, no right or wrong. I create my own spirituality.
Self love & confidence:
Thank you to my Carpe family for asking difficult questions, for witnessing my good and bad and loving me for both, and for helping me do the same.
I am ready to travel India on my own!! One month to discover, explore, and wonder.
My future:
I create my own path. I create my own culture. I feel empowered and liberated from so much of the pressure to do what I thought I had to.
My reflection does not end here. It will never really end, and I know I will continue to be impacted by this trip throughout my entire life.
