I am so tired of people, of the faces and the places I see everyday, of Wellington, of feeling like there's more to life but never grasping it. I want to travel.

Distance makes the heart grow fonder.
I am currently packing my suitcase to go to Auckland for my 21st birthday celebration tomorrow night. I don't know why, but I feel like crying a little bit right now because I know that I will have to pack my bags again on Sunday night to go back to Wellington for work. It makes me sad that I can only spend a few days seeing the people that I love the most in the world. Living here has made me realize how great a people my friends and family are and how much they mean to me. I cherish them so much and my fondness of them grows constantly despite the hundreds of miles between us. Even here, I feel their love for me all the time and I can't be more grateful for that. It's going to be a wonderful, happy reunion when I see all of my friends and family, but also a sad one. I'm trying not to focus on the leaving part... just to see their faces for a short while is better than nothing. Auckland, here I come!

A little encouragement.
When I was young, I used to admire intelligent people; as I grow older, I admire kind people.
Abraham Joshua Heschel
Because there’s nothing more beautiful than the way the ocean refuses to stop kissing the shoreline, no matter how many times it’s sent away.

Being kind isn’t always easy. Or convenient. But it has the potential to change everything.

What can I fear? Will it be death? But you know that Christ is my life, and that I shall gain by death. Will it be exile? But the earth is the Lord's and its fullness is the Lord's. Will it be by loss of wealth? But we have brought nothing into the world, and we can carry nothing out. Thus all the terrors of the world are contemptible in my eyes; and I smile at all its good things. Poverty I do not fear; riches I do not sign for. Death I do not shrink from.
