Just another deep and meaningful mood, so. I Type. :) :)

‘Amongst Angels and grinning masks’

Okay,

So.
The last 5 days I have spent in our villa in a place in the middle of no where, close to the town where my host mum grew up, a place called Växjö.
Right now im in the car on the way back to

Lodby.

All I am thinking about at the moment, sitting in this car being bored out of my brain, is home. Right now all I want is to be home curled up in my bed cuddling my high school musical blanket. But saying that, I don’t want to leave Sweden. No way. I just miss it. I don’t think there is a problem with saying that. I know it runs through every exchange students mind, they miss home, but don’t want to go back... Not yet. Im having the best time here, i think if i went home i would miss this. . :) <3 Sweden.

Its my sisters birthday soon. 21. Wow. She is so old. Haha
She went on exchange. Just like me. When she was 16. To Canada. I think that she is such a big influence on me, in a good way of coarse. :) She must be one of the courageous people is know. I swear.

Also, it was mothers day this time last week. And I truly think that whole day I was just thinking how lucky I am to have my mum. She is the most beautiful and loving woman.

I love my family.

I love my mum and her worrying and her protectiveness
and I love my dad and his stupid dad jokes and bad smell when he just comes in from milking the cows :) (Well, maybe not the smell... :s Yuk. :s )

I love my brother and his great taste of music and the way he is so independent.

And I love my sister, and the way she is such a strong person and I can always rely on her for help or guidance.

And after being in a place like where I have for the last 5 days, waking up to the sound of cows next door or farmers outside walking past with their dogs,

I love my animals, and my farm.

I would never change the way I have been bought up, on a farm with my family and my animals. Even with all dads silly 'dad jokes' and pop saying ‘oh, its just 10 o’clock sickness’ when im SERIOUSLY sick. Or when dad used to ‘messure’ the whole for the fence post with me! Or going and chopping thistles with pop (oh how boring.)

I have only been away 4 months or so, and already I have so much appreciation for not only the rest of the world and population, but my home. I realise how lucky I am and how kind some people are in this world.

Some people just do so much to build

happiness

or just doing something completely selfless, yet there are those few who can not think of anything apart from themselves sometimes and how the world revolves around them. But, those people will see the light one day. They will see that there is no reason to be like that.

The world is a beautiful place,

it deserves to be discovered and seen. I hope to do that.

I want to discover things I have never even thought existed. I want to know the history of these beautiful buildings and places.

Some things I see here just make me look and carry my mind to different places. I think about things from when I was 5 or things that I cant even explain.
To anyone who hasent travelled and is to afraid or to shy or just doesn’t want to, I completely understand. But, there is just so much to explore in this life. And I want to explore it.

Feelings, Places, sights, experiences, smells, tastes. . .

Whatever it may be,

it all makes the person I am now.

But this person is not yet complete

.
So much to see. Im so young. And I think I will probably still be saying all this when I am 80 or 90. That I have so much to see. :)

This place is beautiful.

This life is beautiful.

My family and my friends are Beautiful.

I love life.

Until next time,

Xoxo
