Its been about 36 hours since my loveboat experience came to an end. And after about a day and half of relection and rememberance can I actually find the words to describe it. Despite all the boredom, awkward moments, hardships, diarrhea, stomach cramps, giant mosquitos, and heartaches...this has been, quite possibly, the best month of my life. As much as it pains me to revisit my loveboat memories, mainly because I miss it so much, I feel compelled to look over the pictures I have taken and the VCD the counselors made for us every few hours.
Its really funny how things turned out. In the beginning, I was so unbelieveably miserable. Now, I am unbelievably sad that things are over. But I suppose every good thing must come to and end. Well at least in my life they do. Now I must revert to the old boring, overly-responsible, anal-retentive Kyle and leave loveboat Kyle behind. Perhaps one of the reasons why I enjoyed loveboat so much was because I was able to step out of myself for a lil while. I was able to do things I wouldnt normally do in my regular life. Things like being carefree, being reckless...drunk(?).
However, despite how much I have gained on this trip, I have also paid a huge price. Well, someone else has paid a huge price to be more exact. During my time on Loveboat, while I was busy having fun and not being me, I hurt someone, whom I care deeply about and whom is the last person in the world that deserves to be hurt. And for that, I am deeply sorry.
So for the next week, I will be bumming around Taiwan, chilling with fams, catching up with relatives I havent seen yet and shoping for folks back home. Please email me or IM and let me know if you guys want anything from Taiwan. Aiites, guess thats it. Payce.
