The End of an Era

On Tuesday morning, I'm leaving on a jet plane to go back to the Island.

When I come back home next May, things will be quite different for me and my family.  My baby sister will be graduating high school.  My parents will be moving to a new town.  I will be almost 30.  And what will I be doing?  Traveling I hope and starting anew.

This trip here has been crazy and illuminating.  I came back to the "past" to realize that things have to move on.  There have to be changes.  We gotta keep moving in this crazy world, otherwise, we'll be stuck, feeding off memories, living in the past, when everyone else is in the future.

Ten years of changing, moving around, building relationships, ending things -- all of this to get here to NOW.

It is certainly the end of an era.  Time to walk out into the daylight.
