Six years of my stay here in the United States flew by. Blossoming from a younger, naive health professional to a more learned and independent person, I have yet to reach my fullest potential. My birthday was celebrated several times this month, spent with different sets of friends which I have found as I pursued my interests.
I feel blessed to have these friends whom I consider my family here. Having that sense of belongingness with a family eludes any feelings of negativity that comes with being away from my immediate family in the Philippines. Of course, it will never be comparable but it is close to a feeling of being home.
My life continues to be an adventure! More to come!
