Final Words before Departing...

Well, I just spent 2.5 weeks travelling through South-East Asia and God knows that I want to come back to this part of the world (well, now you do too!). It is so nice and you learn a lot from yourself and of the world while travelling....Beware, I think I am hooked! Especially after travelling with a friend, IAS, it is so much more rewarding and interesting!

So I was leaving Bali...I came once more to surf a bit and take it easy on the beach. It just sucks that I was very sick! Got a REALLY sore throat which now moved to my lungs, and I sound like an old man/woman...u choose!!! ;) While in Bali, I felt like shit so I was a bit disappointed cuz I wanted to do many things, which I didn't have the time to do. Bah....I guess it gives me a reason to come back! :)

So as I was saying, I left by bus and we had to use the ferry...I needed to get out of the bus for multiple reasons and I went up on the deck to enjoy the wind and the view (it was at night, but who cares!). It hit me there and then...

I am leaving this beautiful country!!! I have spent a great deal of time here as a bule and enjoying the pleasures of life and yet, I have to leave...I have to get back to Canada where reality awaits for me...The reality being that I don't have a job, but I have a diploma; I don't have an income, but I just got my tax return (SCORE!!!); and I have no clue what is next but I enjoyed South-East Asia to the max (although I could have enjoyed it more!) and it definitely opened my eyes on the world and on myself!

I think the biggest thing I've learned was that we put sooooooooooooo many barriers in our lives and these barriers are ONLY in your mind! You can really do something if you put all your energy into it...trust me! I know it doesn't sound much but think about it...Your mind will control your life and how many times have you thought: "No, I can't do that because of .........(fill in the blank)." Of course I am not following this at 100% because I am just realizing it, but I think I've done some progress! I push myself and my mentor too! :) Well, he makes me think and I really enjoy that! Puts me outside of my comfort zone!)

Anwyays, I am VERY sad to leave and I wish I could stay longer...I will try my best to come back and see all my friends and the area once again! But we will see what life has in store for me! I come back to Montreal at noon on May 26th, for those who are still confused! PLEASE give me some time and I'll definitely try to see you guys! Love you all and can't wait to see you...

Last note: My birthday is on the 22nd (today) and we are havng a party on the 23rd...It will be bitter sweet cuz its a cross between a birthday party and a farewell party!

Last Last note: I love you all!!!! :D And I got a slight tan...hehehe ;)
