Per Request

Several, okay, two people have asked me to update this since being back on American soil, so here goes nothing, trying to explain the beauty of being home and my traversing through these Continental United States.
I love being home. A lot. I don't really know how to explain the deep love I have for the United States without sounding like someone who has a Confederate flag tattooed on their ankle, but I love it. I love the diversity, the etiquette, the landscape, and feeling like I belong. A part of Chile will always be in my heart, but it's not like I was ever Chilean, nor could I have ever been.
While I am extremely satisfied with my decision to go to Chile and with the experience that I had, an experience of a lifetime, it has definitely put my entering the real world on hold. It is true what they say, life goes on. My sister had this amazing baby, my best friend had this incredible little boy, my brother graduated, Zach graduated, friends moved, life moved on without me and here I return a different person as well. It's incredible the journey that life takes you on, I have decided to continue putting myself out there on the world wide web, so that I can tell the story of me moving on post Chile, me finding a place in these United States . By the way, I have been experiencing culture shock, I have been left speechless a few times here because I am so amazed that I can just ask for what I want and it will happen within 2 minutes (anyone who knows me is probably not believing that I would be left speechless, but it happened), I have been impressed beyond belief by the customer service here, and also devastated by the things that I take for granted everyday, a warm or cool house, toilets that work, clean water, etc.
I must go appreciate this baby that my dear friend Thea has brought into the world, but until I pour my heart out again, take care and que te vaya bien!
