Next chapter : Wolof

Preparing for the next chapter in my life starting October 14, I'll be on a two month rotation working in Senegal with 1 month off. Excited to be heading back to Africa, looking forward to advancing my career in Geology and exposing myself to another one of Africa's beautiful countries. Stay tuned for my explicit Senegal Blog.

Be seen, be heard, live on

I love the end.

I love everything about it, the end of a book which is isn't always up to par is still great because it reminds you of how good it was. The end is never as good as the means and that's understood.

I love nearing the end, it often stirs up some butterflies but with those butterflies comes a sense of excitment associated with the curiosity of a new beginning.

The end of something good doesn't mean it wasn't good. Often I look back and remember good times and discover that they were better than I had previously remembered. That sentiment is often attributed by the end coming when it did, preserving the greatness of what it was.

Deadlines are often the end of a project, which is always nice to know you've got it off your plate. Accomplishing tasks, starting new ones and knowing things done are things you can be proud of...

It's Wednesday, but I feel an end coming up and I'm excited for the new beginings associated and i'm grateful for the goodness that it was.

FTW

Do we want who we can't have or is it simply the idea they represent?

Everyone knows we want what we can't have...

Unavailable wants and no getting... Setting yourself up for failure or simply avoiding the great big hurt by choosing a smaller calculated hurt?

Not ready for commitment or just aware and mitigated commitment efforts?

One week before Valentine's day and I wonder about these things as I straddle the line separating love, affection, appreciation and profound friendship.

Straddling FTW
