Nothing is the same after you&#39;ve lived abroad. Somehow, you can never be fully satisfied again, because you&#39;re always missing something, and you can never have it all. But you never, ever regret it, either.Vanessahttp://thevoyageofv.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4656426566021916969.post-67812796294170654812009-07-15T13:49:28.090-04:002009-07-15T13:49:28.090-04:00I love this, Lil Bee.

And I won&#39;t lie to them, it&#39;s such a tough adjustment. But the good thing is, you come back completely changed, and you see things from a different perspective, and that&#39;s the beauty of it...Vivianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11360202895003317227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4656426566021916969.post-73578210409144818302009-07-15T11:53:00.393-04:002009-07-15T11:53:00.393-04:00having traveled for long terms many times in my life, i completely understand the troubles of &#39;re-entry&#39;. i&#39;ve never heard it put so perfectly before. thanks for posting this.Poke Salad Anniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10962686938470505761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4656426566021916969.post-7003294549157182392009-07-15T11:30:49.208-04:002009-07-15T11:30:49.208-04:00this is beautifully written...<br />very thought provoking...<br />thanks for sharing.Laura Treveyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17899796125431704429noreply@blogger.com
