A weakness of mine - I cannot say 'Goodbye'. I am a firm believer that there is never a moment for actual Goodbyes, but rather that there are periods of separation in life. These periods are the reason why moments together must always be cherished. I believe that everyone in my life means something, that every person I encounter aids me in my life journey, making me who I am. It is the people in my life that create beautiful memories. While I thoroughly enjoy and appreciate beautiful places, it is the people that make that place special.
I have been thoroughly blessed with the people in my life - my time in Maastricht was no exception to this. To come to such a beautiful city, not knowing a soul, and to leave with friends I regard as family is something I will cherish all my life. I have grown as a person here, pushing beyond the familiar into a territory which forced me to discover more about who I am. Everyone here, from my housemates to my classmates to all my other friends, I will miss dearly. But as I said before - it is not goodbye - it is a 'See You Soon'.
