There are always good and bad days, any day, anywhere. It's just life. It's hard to have the good days so close to leaving, because you know you won't see these people again. In that sense, it also makes you want to enjoy it more. You can either chose to be sad about the good times ending or you can make the ending to the good times even better.
For example, Vanessa and I. Vanessa and I have been in neighboring cities throughout our exchangers but have only recently become close during the last month or two. Right now, I consider her a really close friend and I regret not getting to know her earlier. She is such a fun girl. I only have a matter of weeks left until I get home and it's hard trying to hang out so much before I go. Her and I are making plans to see each other many times again but it's hard thinking about how much fun we could have had if this all started earlier.
You have to take all of those feelings and regrets about not doing something and get rid of them. Living a life of regrets isn't living. The only thing that matters is right now and right now I have the people I want to have and am doing the things I want to do. I need to be grateful that I had any time to be friends with Vanessa, or anyone else I've met on exchange, can't look at the bad side. I've always been good at goodbyes, or things like this, because I never feel like it's actually goodbye. Maybe one day it'll hit me but for now there's always the possibility. God works in mysterious ways, he brought us together and he can do it again.
Today I went to Blumenau with Vanessa and my friend Octavio. It didn't even feel like the end of my exchange, it felt like it was only the beginning. It's like the rebirth of my exchange and it's coming to an end. The only way to look at it is that I can't change a thing and I know for a fact it'll make me into a stronger person.
