What is this place doing to me! Tuesday has come and gone, and I'm still in Paihia. I cannot even begin to explain how I feel day after day here.
If you are worried about me, consider this. Back at home, my happiness level was 1 (almost 0) on a scale of 1-10 (1 being the LOWEST). Here, I am living at a level of 10. If it sounds like I'm exaggerating, then you don't know me. Life here is not ideal, but it is perfect, so much so that I cannot believe it is real.
So for all the people who have ever tried and failed or tried and successfully hurt me, I dedicate this day to you. Because I must be doing something right.
