TBC...

so yeah, new zealand was just fucking great. i made so many new friends from legit all over the world, and i had a sweet lovely boyfriend for 7 months. mitchell was an absolute delight and also the worst piece of crap. i loved him. he was a very good first boyfriend. i was also his first real proper girlfriend. i'm glad things worked out like that. we taught each other so much and i'll never ever forget him. i'm glad we're still friends and ended things like proper adults. even living with him out in the fucking country taught me how mentally strong i am and can be. 

over all, i'm extremely proud of myself for everything that i did overseas. i am so strong and so happy. this was the best experience of my life.
