Too busy

So much is going on. So many pictures. Ill show you all later. 

Just know I'm having a good time. 

Pictures are on Facebook if you want to see them. 

Updates. Germany day 4

My Germans not horrible, but sentences and communication are terrifying. Ill stick to my words. 

Today was Bad Homborg. I was a little picture happy... I have to be! Castles and shopping and huge courtyards. Loved it. 

Off to Strasbourg, France tomorrow. We're having LOVELY weather, so hopefully it continues. It's been about 24-27ish degrees (mid-upper 70's). 

I also realized that gas here is about 8$ a gallon! And they fill up on diesel gas. Strange, isn't it? 

Also, the bus systems are very fast here! Busted London and Italy all in one day! 

Day one in Germany

My closest friends drove me to the airport, dropped me off, and waved goodbye- for the last time in 2 years. I cried a little, but not as much as I thought  I would. As long as I didn't think of their names, I was okay. 

After having the craziest week ever, it's safe to say I haven't slept at all. So once I boarded the first plight, I was out. I was awake for a total of one hour that flight. 

We had a 3 hour layover (kill me) in Detroit waiting for our flight to Frankfurt. Our flight was completely full.. Weird, huh? 

We arrived after the longest 9 hours of my life to find that our luggage had been delayed. Nana was not a happy camper. 

We finally got our luggage and arrived at Alison's. it's so adorable here. We're obviously related. I'm excited for our projects this summer. 

Germany is gorgeous. Very green, lots of trees. It looks like a big yellow and green grid sheet from the sky. I think I'll love it when it rains. 

We went to the market to get bread and cheese for lunch. I think I was made for this place- bread and cheese all the time? Yes please! And the chocolate isle... Don't get me started. 

Had a lovely dinner and a walk to the  duck pond. It's gorgeous everywhere you go- do much history. I'm dying! 

I was so exhausted I couldn't even keep my eyes open when talking to someone. 

I'm dirty and have sticky sour stuff in my hair, but I'm glad I'm here- despite what I'm leaving at home. It'll be a good summer. 

France on Friday. Bon jour! 

Missing you all terribly xxx

The best way to end a chapter

Pictures speak a thousand words 

The love I have for the people in these moments will forever be with me. I hope and pray they stay with me till I die. No one gets better than these guys. They've left a lasting impression- one I won't ever forget. 

So much love was felt today, I'm okay to go now. 

It's time get out of here. Chao!

I get myself into things without even thinking about them. Who knew sending a silly text introducing myself would play out to be this big? Who knew a homecoming date would do the same? 

I'm in such an emotional state, I don't have any feelings accept for my friends; where there are no feelings that need to be handled, and there are no unspoken words. I can just be myself and love freely without any attachments. 

Sometimes you're scared to leave normallacy for so long, but then god pulls one of his funny tricks, and makes leaving sound more glorious than ever before; even more glorious than during the time you hoped and dreamed for change. 

I'm ready to be another Chloe in a far away land where nobody knows my name, and nobody knows my story. A place I can write whatever I want and not have to refer to another chapter, or even another book. 

A place where past feelings don't go, simply because they were felt in a different time. They can be felt, and probably missed, but they can't be acted upon, and that's the greatest gift. 

It's time to leave. That much is clear. And I'm ready. Not because I don't like them, but because two things can not simultaneously exist in a place only one is morally supposed to exist in.

Why do good things happen to bad people?? 

Last night was so nice. Spent time with my old girlfriends, listened to good music, danced away the night, kissed the sweetest boy, and talked to someone who.. Probably still knows me better than anyone else. Or used to. 

I was sitting in the backseat listening to some song that had me looking out the window smiling at life, when a friend reached over and touched my leg. He said "I'm going to miss you, Chlo." And just with those small words, he had me swelling with too much emotion. 

I was sitting in my driveway with part of my past, talking about our lives. And just like we didn't have a past, I told them basically everything that's happened in the last two months (in a nutshell). Over the course of the night, the past was brought up and so was the future. It was nice. 

I was dancing with a part of my present when he reminded me of the full moon. We ran to the "A" and our lips touched. My present will go with me to my future as part of the memoirs from a great past. 

As I thought about my future, my present and my past reminded me how ready I am to handle this. Thank you to both; I've learned how to love through both, how to overcome hard things, and how to smile. Because of both, my future has a bright outlook. 

It was just a small mix up in emotion. But that small mix up ruined some good things. Hmmm.
