So, I’m leaving Argentina in a few hours, and I don’t know how to feel. It’s a bittersweet feeling because I’ve lived here for 3 months and I’ve met so many amazing people. I’m really going to miss this country, but I’m also ready to leave with my new found confidence in myself and perspective of the world. So, in my bittersweet moment, I decided to write the following:
Leaving home,
To discover a new country
Is bittersweet.
Sad to leave comfort,
But, excited to discover discomfort.
And, then,
Leaving that new country,
That started to feel like home,
Is even worse,
Because
That country has become home.
It has felt familiar.
So, going home,
Well,
Home is gonna be the same.
But,
With a changed perspective,
And, that’s exciting.
That’s why,
Leaving your new home,
To go back home,
Is bittersweet.
But,
As I leave my new home,
I remember all the good times,
And lessons learned,
And, I feel ready to leave.
I’m ready to discover more new things,
And, learn more lessons,
And, meet more people.
So, with a bittersweet heart,
I say: “See you later!”
To my new home away from home!
