It describes exactly how I feel today missing only 5 days to go back to Brazil and to drastically change my lifestyle again. Sometimes I feel excited and sometimes I feel afraid, but the only thing that I have sure is that I love this change feeling thing and how it makes me feel alive. Im so thankful for everybody that I met here and for the opportunities that I had. Im going back but it does not mean that Im going back to my old shape. Im definitely a new person with new needs and thoughts. The most important lesson that study abroad gave me was the get out of the comfort zone feeling and I dont want to miss it at all. “make a radical change in your lifestyle and begin to boldly do things which you may previously never have thought of doing, or been too hesitant to attempt. So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservation, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a mans living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun. If you want to get more out of life, you must lose your inclination for monotonous security and adopt a helter-skelter style of life that will at first appear to you to be crazy. But once you become accustomed to such a life you will see its full meaning and its incredible beauty.” ― Jon Krakauer, Into the Wild
