So its my first time being away from home on a very important holiday. I don't know how some people don't get together with their families every year. Thanksgiving is a big deal in my family, lots of food, lots of laughs, and lots of love. I'm handling it pretty well though, I think. I really miss home and the familiar family faces, but I have a small family of my own here in Milan.
I have struggled so much with being homesick since I've been in Italy. I may over exaggerate it a little bit sometimes or be too dramatic about it, but home is where the heart is...having such an amazing opportunity to travel the world is always what I wanted and I know I'm going to miss Italy when I get back to America.
This trip has taught me so many tips about life that I'm going to definitely use along my journey. I'm stronger, braver, smarter, confident and will always appreciate everything in my life more than I have in the past.
You just start to realize when your missing out on a whole other world across the ocean, that anything can happen at anytime and you have to be ready. You have to get out and do whats best for yourself, but don't ever take it for granted. Family & Friends will always be more important than anything in this world, & having faith in God will always be number one!
