No, this is not a Soap Opera! Welcome to Leah's Parallel Universe. I guess it was only a matter of time before I joined the world of travel blogs. So, here we are. Blogging is just a better way of documenting everything and giving people access who don't have Facebook. Oh my gosh....could it be?!? Yes, there are some people who don't have Facebook...like my mother. You will notice I added all my previous notes from Facebook. If you have been following the posts from me or Mallary, you may have noticed they have been mostly day/week accounts of what we have been up to, but there hasn't been much of a personal touch. It's time to change that.
I had an epiphany today. I realized that somewhere along the line a very long time ago, I lost who I was. I have been through some hard times throughout my life, and recently I was able to strip away all the crap that has built up over the years. My Leahishness was buried down so deep, and now it is time to dig myself out again. I suppose that is one of the reasons I wanted to take this trip in the first place. For me, traveling is magical. It is a chance for me to get away from the daily routine and rediscover myself in ways I never would have been able to do back home. I am so grateful that I even have the opportunity to do this, and I am humbled by the lives of my friends and family that keep them from doing so. But, this is my life...and the only one I have to live! So, I am going to live it out in style.
I hope you will join me on this adventure to rediscover myself. And, if you're lucky, maybe you will discover something new along the way as well! From here on out, be prepared to see Southeast Asia through my eyes - this parallel universe on the other side of the world.
