End of My "New" Life

When I realised that what I had been trying to adapt to had become my comfort zone, I stopped blogging. It's just kind of weird writing about my normal life. Like, I go to school, I go home in the micro, I travel with my family and I just live. There's nothing really new. I understand everything. So it's kind of hard to find motivation and material to blog about. 

Anyway, I had kind of an end of year crisis earlier today. I looked at my calendar to see the date I leave for Easter Island, and it was like:

     "In two weeks I go to Easter Island, and then when I get back I have 5 weeks until I leave leave, which is time enough. Yeah that's good. But in that time I have a trip to the north for a week, which leaves me with 4, which means that I only have 4 weekends left!!!! 

And then I was like NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! Where has my year gone??? 

:'((( 

Just about all of the exchange students I knew before I came here told me that my year would feel like an eternity but at the same time a whirlwind.

I never thought it would be so damn true.

People ask me all the time, "Do you want to go back to the US, Willow?"

and I don't even think about the answer. 

It's always no.

I'm not even sorry.

I really don't want to go back. I love it here. I love Chile. I love my family. I love my friends. I love Temuco. I love my life here.

But as I always say, just when I get used to something, it changes.

Because life wouldn't be exciting if it didn't.

But I still would like if it all could last a little more.

My comfort zone has stretched, molded and even changed. 

And I don't really want to break it again. Or, at least not right now. :)
