Today, I've been paying particular attention to forgiveness. I've been harboring resentment towards a loved one. We had a huge argument back in November, and since then I continually express my sorrow and have pleaded for her to speak with me again. She and I were best friends and this has been more difficult for me to bare than a break up with an ex. We expect that boyfriend girlfriend relationships have a chance of terminating. We never enter friendships with the notion that they will end. At least I didn't. 

My exotic features allow me to blend in and relate to many crowds. I definitely do not harbor prejudice against anyone, or consider myself superior to anyone else. To travel is to seek history in a modern setting, while learning to integrate and adapt to new situations. I am a good traveler because I take in all the small details, and don't need lavish accommodations to find happiness. I can pass many hours merely admiring architecture and nature, or studying faces. I can live on a fixed budget, in fact I would rather live in the same places as the homeland's people to get an authentic experience and to better appreciate life in my own element when the experience is over. 

I love to reminisce about childhood with friends of my age group. It is especially fun when random reminders of favorite tv shows, toys, books of the past come up, and provokes people to make the happiest expressions. Who remembers the show Bobby's World or Bill Nye the science guy? And everyone shouts, "I loved that show, plus I know the theme song by heart!" Thats the best feeling. That shared bond of childhood memory. 

The proximity to the beach, with its moderate climate and the friendliest, caring neighbors. The nature that surrounds me is breathtaking. when I am away for lengthy periods of time, and return I realize what a sanctuary my home has become. I can even deal with the tourists, because everyone should know this beauty, this serenity.
