My heart was pounding, “I can’t believe I’m going to India” I said to myself. It was on another level, I was ecstatic, “6 months on my own” these thoughts raced through my mind. It was the biggest move I had ever made by myself. Could I handle it though? Probably not, but staying at home was not an option. I had to go and find out what was what. I had to find out what kind of strength I had. Still, 6 months on your own in a completely foreign country is something else entirely. Was it really foreign though? It felt vaguely familiar. When I had first heard of the Bhagavad Gita, a spiritual text of India in Religious class, something inside of me lit up. My heart opened up. It was incredible, it was like it was speaking of a familiar land far away. It was like home for me. I couldn’t describe the feeling. But one thing was for sure, I would never forget this trip!
