Long time no read...

I saw a Korean Woody Allen today... it was a good day.

It's been so long since I've talked to everyone from back home. There are so many people who facebook me and stuff asking, "How's life in Korea?" It's so hard to know what to say to that? Part of me wants more people to ask me, are part of me wants to just not answer them. And so far it's been the part that doesn't want to answer that's been controlling my life.

I'm really not sure why I don't keep in contact with people. Part of it's laziness I'm sure, part of it is just that it's hard to say how life is in a simple message. Life is complicated. It always is. Being in Korea has so many levels to it that it just seems impossible to start explaining how things are here. In some way, it's obviously totally unique and different from anything else I've ever experienced. In another sense, I feel like this is just like home, just in a different country. Maybe that's because even if you leave everything you knew behind, you're still the same person no matter where you go. And God is also the same God here as He is in the States.

I'm very confused about this though. I've historically been bad at keeping in touch with people that I'm not in direct contact with. When I was at college, I never called friends from back home, and when I was home, I never called college friends. Why? I don't know. I love all you guys. Please forgive me for this. I truly miss all of you guys so much. You are the people who made me who I am today. You, my family and friends, are with me here in Korea because you have shaped who I am in so many ways. And I apologize for not keeping you guys more informed about everything.

Have a great Thanksgiving everyone. I'm missing you guys more now that the Holidays are coming up. Much love from Korea goes out to everyone in Philly and Pittsburgh (and any other random places that people maybe ^__^)
