First Blog Post

Currently, I am sitting in my dorm at Stanford, and the plane for Ecuador is 8 hours away. I can only attempt to grasp and grab hold of all the feelings occurring throughout me, yet I am drawn to write in poetry-ish form to explain my thoughts and experiences here at GCY so far. I title this 

"Last moments" 

the last moments 

these memories have a tight grip

as I leave

the last hand to be held

 by the love I care for

now my heart clenches as I continue to relive that moment

I fly to a place full of souls that inspire 

each word spreading wide into the air 

each glance sparks with curiosity and interest 

to know one another

these last moments here I will miss

Soon to board a plane

to take me on a journey of loving 

journey of learning

journey without expectations 

these are the first moments

I embark these moments with clarity

I want to understand what's misunderstood

trusting of the unknown 

in 8 months 

I may miss these first moments
