My interpretation of how 3 months in Uganda has transformed me. Includes some of my journaling during my stay as well as other personal thoughts, reflections and just the honest truth about what goes on inside my head.

looking forward
I have seriously been neglecting my blog. I feel like I have been so busy the last few weeks I haven't even had time to think about posting. It's been work work work. And when I haven't been working I've been out of town.
Last night I had a dream that made me cry in my sleep and I can't stop thinking about it. Usually dreams that make me cry out loud involve someone close to me dying. Last night it was related to Uganda. In my dream I saw Robert and all of his and Carli's kids. (If you haven't read all of my blog, this is the family I stayed with while I was in Uganda.) I remember every single kid coming up to me and hugging me and I just cried and cried I was so overwhelmed and happy to see them. When I woke up in the morning my eyes were puffy from crying and I remembered the dream.
I really miss the family so much, so this dream doesn't surprise me at all. But honestly, being home has gotten a little bit easier every day. I've been doing a lot of personal work lately that has helped me accept being here a bit better. I'm just bored with my life I think and I crave the excitement I had while I was traveling. It's been a really rough time for me the past couple months but I can actually feel a difference lately. Things are lighter. One thing that has made a big difference and will hopefully continue to improve things for me is getting a new job! Yesterday I was offered a job. I am so happy to finally get away from the one thing in my life making me the most miserable. Looking forward to turning things around and getting on the right track!
