Going home this weekend was the greatest thing ever. I got to see my family and friends who I’ve missed so much, but I also realized how much I love Link Year and my friends here. I know I missed my piers back home, but didn’t realize that I would miss my link community while being home. It’s like Passengers song ‘Let Her Go’. I learned how much I love my friends in Branson after leaving them for just one weekend. So I’m just going to brag on these fine people for a bit! Everyone here, even though I may not talk to them, are awesome. I may get along with others better, but I still love each one of them individually. I’m not sure if its just me being in a new place, but I did not have a heart like this for people as much back home as I do here. I feel like they just bring the best out of me. I have never been this vulnerable and true to others (even myself) until Link Year. Honestly, my community back home in Texas was so incredible, that I was fearful to come here and leave mine, but it has not failed me in anyway at all. My roommates are so stinking incredible, even though we are all completely different. I have an amazing small group and mentor. My accountability partners are the bomb and so real with me. Everyone around me just brings joy to my heart to be around. I love this place and can’t brag on these people enough.
