Philippines

I still miss it. I love how everything changes, how you can see a skyscraper and a wild chicken at the same time. I love how pure hearted everyone was, how unjaded they were. I love the promise of the country, I love the gray sunrise that was more amazing than any sunrise back home. I loved feeling like I was in Gotham city, eating Starbucks and fast food every day. I love how dirty things were and how crowded it was all the time. I love the hotel staff and the taxi drivers who tried to rip us off everywhere. I love the people that I worked with, their accents, their camaraderie. I loved the way we were there.  I loved the person I was and now that I'm home, I hate going back to the person that I used to be.
