leaving on a jet plane, don´t know when i´ll be back again

no one could have prepared me for what its like to leave. I figured i would be of course a little sad to leave at the end of my time in Guatemala, but i didn´t think it would hit me like a ton of bricks. I didn´t think i´d be leaving people that can very well be considered life long friends and a part of your family. I didn´t think that every goodbye last night would seem like seconds slipping through my figures with every person. 

´´take a little peice of everyone one of us with you  in your soul. Think about us whenever you want and have your experience with us make you a better person.´´

I leave today a country that is imbedded with this experience that taught me so many things...can never be given back to me, but can never be taken away.
