Packing

Packing. 

How do you decide what to take? 

How do you decide what to "leave?" 

How do you decide what to put aside? 

To throw away, give away, put away... 

This has been the theme of my last couple of weeks. I keep thinking about how my perspective on life is going to change- living in uganda for the next two years, coming from a place where people are so entitled and attached to "things."

Because really that's all that we have, are just "things." 

A friend told me, "Maddie, you'll go back to CA- just different. You'll have gone through a bunch of different seasons and you'll just be a different person..." 

So I wonder- how many of these "things" will I think I "need" two years from now? 

Excited for change. Excited for this new chapter. But transition is always the hardest- and that's when I remember...it's ok to cry. But it's ok to smile too. :)
