Gloomy Clouds

I hope I haven't painted an overly rosy picture of my exchange. God is good and this has been a worthy experience, to say the least, but there have been the downs too.

The last thing I want is to leave PKU with the slightest unhappiness or discontentment. "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never harm me" - Absolute nonsense. Words will not have power over you if the content is untrue, or if the person does not matter. Who cares? Maybe some would view it as living in denial or just being fearful of facing up to the truth, but I stand by...Ignorance is bliss.

I miss my close friends as I write this. Friends whom I can run to and know that I am valued for who I am.
