Afghanistan…

IMG_0001_7Well, I’ve been here for a countles number of days. I can honestly say that I don’t know how many days I’ve been here, it’s true when people say the days run together and you can’t seem to tell them apart. I guess that’s a good thing except when someone asks me what day it is. HA!

Other than the dust and smog I can say that the living conditions and scenery aren’t too bad, it’s awfully congested here with over 30,000 people roaming around. However, I don’t mind living in a room of 6 rather than a room tent of over 100 women. Needless to say that was quite an experience, may I never have to relive an event like that any time soon! It was so packed full of people and gear that I couldn’t walk around without stumbling on gear, chords, or random things that took up space. That tent was dangerous in and of itself! I’m very fortunate to have the location I live in now, I understand that, not a day goes by that I don’t thank my lucky stars!

My comms for the past two months have been in and out, I’ve seen places that, I can honestly say, I hope never to see again (*cough *cough Louisiana) in my lifetime. It’s just been one more thing that I can say is over and I got through it despite all the negativity I had, and I can look back and remind myself how difficult it was to be without those who I needed most: my family.I know I am young, and I know I have a lot to learn. If I have an open mind about the world, in general, I am much more likely to gain something from all the experiences I have. I am always surprised by those who could care less, those who would rather have their conveniences, comforts, and connections to the world they are already so familiar with. I love stepping outside the box sometimes, I have found that the Western world is much less empathetic than any other people. It’s always been difficult for me to understand that, I don’t think I ever will. I cannot expect everyone to have the same open mind as the next, but I don’t like to see those that live their life with patches over their eyes.

Life is new here, every day I learn something new, I just hope it stays that way…
