I’m sad to say I have mixed feelings about yesterday. Yes, I got to cross another one off my list (#48). But at what cost? It seems this trip isn’t just about exploration and good times. It’s also about sacrifice.

Before yesterday I could not have imagined a time or place I could have been more depressed. More importantly, I could NEVER have imagined feeling a sadness that could run so deep. I’ve lived a fairly happy life and I’ve yet to lose a close family member, so up until yesterday when discussions steered toward loss I found myself unable to relate.

Now I know pain.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Dough R.I.P. You will be missed.

I’m done.

Seriously, it might take the pain away. You never know ’til you try.
