Last week I was supposed to be
boarding a plane heading home to
New Zealand... But I missed it.
Actually, I didn't even make it to the airport... Or pack my bags.
As nice as it would have been to leave all this behind and get back home - where everyone speaks my language and the comfort level is a whole lot higher -
I couldn't make myself do it.
I'm pretty convinced that everything I'm learning here is leaving me better-off: The people, the experience,
the things I never wanted to know... There was a time when ignoring the realities of whatever's going on was
as blissful as changing the channel. And nowadays I find myself giving up flights just to stay and learn more.
I'm gunna put it out there, we like to know stuff. For sure, I want to know more. I want to learn from experiences.
I want to make better calls in life based on what I learn rather than on blissful ignorance.
How about you?
I guess I'm one of those kids who reckons you can learn and grow from everything.
I feel like I'm better for being in a place like this and seeing things I'm not used to.
So I'm gunna hang out here just a little longer.
If ignorance is bliss then knowing is even better.

There's a dude upstairs who I'm a whole lot better off for knowing than ignoring too.
I always find how He leads us to the places we are in for a reason.
And I guess I'm just trying not to ignore it.
Cos knowing is better.
