Last Post?

I've barely been on this blog in ages, it may be time to officially retire from it. It's time for me to move on in many ways.

I have finally graduated from university--I do wish my parents would have been present but I know they're proud of me. They've been my biggest influence and deserve credit for any accomplishments I may have because they always believed in me. I get sentimental when I think of them. All my family members have been very supportive of me. I was in tears a couple of weeks because I got so homesick. It's funny how I was so eager to get done with school, now I realize so many things I'll miss.

Over time, our identities evolve as we take up new roles in new places and grow up. I know I'm not the same person I was when I started this blog. While I'm still 20-something, I'm not as idealistic about the world. I have travelled many distances and learned a lot about myself. Different experiences have made me develop deep compassion and learn not to take the priviledges I have for granted. Now, it's time to consider a new job, and moving to a new city or state. Who knows where I'll be this time next year?

There's so much to look forward to---including attending a bloggers meetup in Nairobi one of these fine days....
