My last week in Germany has begun. And of course, I have mixed feelings about that. On the one hand, I can’t wait to return home and pick up my life where I left it. On the other hand, I’m sad to be parting from family and friends who are very dear to me. So, I have a number of choices:
- Be sad, feel sad, and behave sad.
- Be happy, and ignore the sadness.
- Take every day as it is, enjoy life as much as I can, and make the most of every single day.
- … (you add your own perspective)
I choose to go with number three, because it’ll help me enjoy my time here, and still look forward to what is to come.
On that note: Carpe diem, or “Seize the day!”
