Homesick

So, yesterday, Wed Feb 28 got into Queenstown from Wanaka. Went bungy jumping from the 3rd highest bungy in the world, 134 meters. Loved it so much i went twice. My ripcord didn't pull like it was supposed to(both times!) and was upside down the whole time. Believe this is what caused me to make the crazy decision to go again(details and photos later). Was exhausted but went out with the whole Kiwi Explorer(bus) crew. Won an hour of free drinks(Ha, the one person who actually wasn't drinking) but made me very popular for at least an hour. Other than that, the atmosphere is a little like high school-ya know gossip, cliques blah blah blah blah but managed to make some friends. Unfortunately today we all dispersed and went our separate ways leaving me feeling a little sad, alone, emotional and homesick. Also, keep seeing reminders of my brother Pedro- horses, a horrible car accident(twice) and today as I was walking through the park alone tonight, they were playing bagpipes-which were played at his funeral. Very bittersweet because while these occurrences have served to remind me of the loss of my little brother, they have also solidified my belief that i am not alone and although maybe not in physical form, my brother's spirit is still very much here. His loss was one of the major reasons i decided to go on this trip. It was a reminder that life is short and you never know what tomorrow, or today, will bring and it us up to me to live it with love, kindness and passion and to follow my dreams despite any fear(s) i may have. I have always had a love of traveling, learning, growing and experiencing new cultures and people. I am blessed that i am able to do so. I will allow myself to be sad right now as i miss my friends and family but also accept that this too shall pass and I am not alone. Miss and love you all
