Today I appreciate the freedom of my life. Today I chose the freedom to do nothing at all. Read a book. Enjoy the sun before the imminent monsoon. Sit. Think. Meditate. Explore my mind. Watch the locals cart mangoes, wrist bangles, and momo's along the street.
I am celebrating the freedoms and independence of my CHOSEN life! I must never forget that I was born with the right to 3 passports. The right to travel anywhere in the world as I please. As I choose. Many Nepali people cannot even leave their country. They cannot escape their life. Plastered on every street are adds for the dream of studying abroad. Many apply. Most are denied without being given a reason. They can't ever apply again. I've been approached by many young men here on the prospects of me taking them to America. A man can have more than one wife in Nepal so that never stops them from inquiring! I'm happily taken though!
Over and over I realize how my life is a PRIVILEGE. I can't let go of this while I'm here.
