Of course, coming home has lessons of its own. Reverse culture shock, coupled with a return to stability and the end of my volunteer adventure, is somewhat akin to hitting a brick wall. My wisest friends have said, "don't look at going home as the end of a dream, see it as the next chapter in the incredible book of your life" and reminded me that "just because you have to go home doesn't mean you have to stop living life exactly as you are now - with passion and wonder." With that spirit in mind, I am going to spend the next few months embracing life in this beautiful (and incredibly snowy) country my friends like to call Canadia. It's a bit cliche to say, but life is what you make it, so take responsibility and make it a good one.
