For me, I think about titanic moments in my life. This is a titanic moment. I have been thinking a lot on this trip, and my identity makes more sense to me every day. Visiting a different country, having this opportunity makes me think of how I want to continue living.
It's also made me think about other titanic moments in my life; things that have destroyed me, lifted me up, made me a better person, or shattered my world in good ways and bad.
For me, part of this is trust. Trust is something I have an issue with, and this trip has put me out of my comfort zone as far as trust goes. Flying halfway across the world with two professors I'm not necessarily familiar with (but have had a fabulous time getting to know), and having to trust peers I don't know that well, and even putting trust in people that don't speak the same language (such as the taxi driver that drove us back to our apartments tonight). The fact that I have been more trusting than usual is huge for me, titanic.
This is my story to tell, and this experience and things we are discussing in class are helping me to add to it and tell it. I am letting go, remembering the titans of my life.
