One year

A year ago today this would become my backyard.

It's hard to believe that it's been a year since I boarded a plane to spend the 6 craziest months of my life in Burkina Faso. I never expected the time to come and go so quickly.

I never expected to fall in love so quickly, to give my heart away so readily ...

To find a comfort and peace that surpassed all of my understanding, in a place that was so foreign and uncomfortable...

I never expected to discover such passion, and vision, or to experience such heartbreak...

And I never expected it to still hurt so much after being back for so long.
