CLOSING TIME: 'Every New Beginning Comes From Some Other Beginning's End' *cue song*

'One's destination is never a place...but a new way of seeing things' -Henry Miller


Wow...Time really seemed to overdo it on the red bull because it has obviously developed wings to have flown by so quickly!

 So it is the day before I leave and i feel.....SICK! First time in ages and I'm sneezing, runny nose, feeling weak, exhausted...SIGH!!! I'm actually sucking a massive grapefruit as I write this. I hope and pray I get better ASAP! Otherwise, I feel: 

surreal,excited,anxious,apprehensive,sad and every other synonym that can be found on

The hardest part about this experience will be the fact that I am unable to share it with those I love the most... 
In fact, Saturday, which was the last full day spent with Dom, was sad for me because it really hit me that I was leaving...and because we exchanged promise rings (so sweet).
Check out my facebook status from Sat nite lol: 


‎-DISCLAIMER:THE FOLLOWING IS A MUSHFEST,VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED!
there is not enough time in the world to let (his name) know just how much I will miss him over the next 8 months...it is hard to go from being w/that special person almost every day to not at all for so long.U r my bestest friend, my lover & my comforter& despite the obstacles, I thank God for blessing me with you over the past 4 years :) if we make it through this then we can be even more sure that we are meant to be ♥


if I were single and disengaged well then by all means I would be a happy camper all single and ready to mingle, excited to grasp the bull by its horns and delve into a brand new experience head first!

However such is not the case....I am leaving my loved ones behind ( I won't even be back for christmas :(  ) because this has always been a dream of mine and as much as I will be sad to go I do not want to ever regret never enjoying and learning from this opportunity!

'20 years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the things you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbour and catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.' - Mark Twain.

So with my 2 large suitcases and small carry on packed (no worries my mom is accompanying me for the first 2 weeks lol)...I feel content...not going to think about the 6hour time difference and the miles between us but I'm going to open my mind and my arms to embrace this wonderful opportunity! 
So Cheers to a safe flight where I am not too exhausted and battered from jet lag!
 May the Good Lord above continue to guide and protect me on this new journey and help me to learn and experience all that I must to continue growing and becoming the person I was meant to be!!!

I AM READY!! Goodbye Trinidad...I will miss you my lovely caribbean island...my family...friends....my DOG CASEY!!! my BF Dominic......<3   See you all in May 2012...
