LEAP. Faith will catch you.

Last week, I spent four days packing. Six boxes shipped to my sister in California. Half my life thrown out. Sad. relieved. exhausted. Starting over. Moving forward.

Tuesday. I boarded a plane and didn't look back. I put on my headphones and shamelessly listened to Taylor Swift as my relationship played out in her songs.

I landed in California. Mom looked at me and said, "Your life isn't over, it's altered." She gave me a Cambodian kiss by playfully placing her nose against my cheek and sniffing. I giggled. We made dinner. Almost everyone was with me. We laughed, Dad grumbled. We talked about big sis's engagement party. It was loud but inviting.

I'm home.

After all of this, I still trust in the journey. I trust that love will take me to better places.

LEAP. Life is waiting.

Hi Chatti: I feel like I have been in that place a couple times before, and I just had to learn to truly believe in myself and in what I make of my life. For whatever lies ahead for you, stay strong and proud. You are one talented Cambodian woman.
