all i want is sushi.: love life.

Last time this year I received an invitation in the mail asking me to pack up and leave to a country I knew only two facts about: the murder rate was one of the highest in the world and the sandwich chain, Subway, existed there. If I decided to accept, my new home for the next twenty-four months would be Honduras. For the first time in a quarter of a century, I would move out of my safe-zone of Long Beach, away from friends and family and everything I felt comfortable with. I was ecstatic! And decided immediately to jump on the chance of a lifetime.

I sit here now contemplating my life over the past eleven months. I really had no time or proper resources to prepare myself for what I have been through. It has been a roller coaster of ups and downs, personally speaking. As for the country, it never ceases to amaze me, from its beauty to its repulsiveness. I try to take both things into account and make the best of every day.
