Tomorrow I leave for Hong Kong. It’s always been, “I leave for Hong Kong in 6 months” or “I leave this summer.” Now “in 6 months” is here. I have a hard time believing this is really happening. Sometimes I look at myself and ask, “Who am I?” I’m going to Hong Kong–What??? But I also disappoint myself, too. I’m not the person I want to be. And I ask that question again, “Who am I?” I think we all have those moments, where we confuse our own ideas about ourselves. Perhaps this unexpectedness is what makes life so interesting.
Jon Foreman wrote a song on his 24th birthday and (though I’m not turning 24) I thought about it today.
