Sure, big events can be fascinating, but the real joy of history and stories is the way we connect with the quiet thoughts from within someone else.
I have a week's worth of fun memories, but the only thing that has changed about me because of this week is only visible on the inside.
I spent a week watching, listening, and observing, and as a result, I changed on the inside. I just had to constantly remind myself to shut up and soak in.
And I did.
Now here I am, ready to face something that would have terrified me 8 days ago.
By the way, I totally jumped off of that waterfall.

I didn't get to see you while you were in town. =/
I'm freaking going to kill you when I see you now! I'm so glad that you had fun and that you grew and learned a lot... but I can't believe you jumped off that thing! >o< Don't ever do that again until you are old and wrinkly and ready to die!
