In Theory

Today marks the reality that I have been in Denmark for 83 days.
WOW! So for 83 days I havent seen my family/friends/school/house/city etc.
Its so incredibly crazy to think that its been that long without those things above but these past 83 days have been so amazing. I wouldn't for a second take back those 83 days. Denmark is what I've been dreaming about my whole life, and that is my independence.

So far these 83 days have changed me alot I believe. I feel like I'm so much more mature and I can def. say that I feel like an adult now... not like a 16 yr. old. It is my belief that no matter who we are as a person, its INEVITABLE that we change. Change is such a feared thing in this life...
when really we should embrace it, go with it, and see what the outcome is. It would be so strange to say that I stayed the American Megan in Denmark. I feel like I'm not another person, but another personality of myself, the person I can easily be without so much care. I like who Im becoming here, and I appreciate every single second I spend in this country, because I know that when I return to my country that I will be American Megan... once again.

Im pretty sure this is how Darwin must have thought when he was philosophing about evolution- we must change in order to survive in the enviroment we are inhabiting.
Its science, its life, and Im witnessing it. If theres one thing I will greatly gain from this year abroad its my ability to accept change. Im learning now to accept things in a new and more relaxed way then before, and I like that about myself.

I love being challenged as a person, because if theres one thing I know for sure its that Im becoming a person I never imagined I'd become. Being an exchange student is an amazing and a once in a lifetime opportuinty to re create yourself and to grow into who your meant to be.
Im beyond thankful... truly I am


Sending all my love and best wishes to you all back home :)
