There were places I had been and experienced that I had left out that were absolutely incredible. Such as bike riding through Amsterdam, honouring the life of a dear friend on the year anniversary of her passing on the John Lennon Wall in Prague, and visiting the Holocaust memorial in Berlin. But those will be moments for my heart.

There were so many faces, so many people we had met, and so many stories that we had all created and shared that I will keep with me forever. Friendships that were formed will forever have these memories that will unite us through the distance, and will always keep us bonded no matter how long we have to wait before we see each other again.

The goodbyes are hard, but they're what allow us to cherish the moments. I believe in the moments. I live for the moments.
