Better Together
The time together that Kyle and i have is limited, but we make it work. I never thought i would say this but i am actually beginning to be ok with being on this rock of an island. In a weird way i feel like i have found my peace that i lost so long ago. I'm having feelings that us coming to Dominica may have been more for me than Kyle going to med school here. I know its a crazy thought, but hear me out. For any and every kind of women who puts themselves last. Not all the time but mostly YOU put yourself last. and why is that? Feelings of being selfish, so much to do, family, friends, bills, expectations... and the list go's on. Before you know it you are questioning yourself. Who am I anyway? How did I get to this? So with that being said Dominica has in so many ways been my FREEDOM. Yes with all it's glory of bugs the size of cats, cows that chase you, food that sends you to the bathroom every 30 min, brown tap water after every rain, power outages, and that list goes on as well. But in all of that i am happy. God has taken me out and away to work on me....we had some unfinished business to take care of. I can't begin to tell you how wonderful it has been to just be Kyle and Taylor. Now we have our own story and it's whatever we want and slowly but surely i am getting that, and embracing it. Be still in the silence and you will find God there waiting for you.

So well put Tay!! I love you so so much, and will miss your friendship in person, but hope that we'll always keep in touch and stay friends! I'm so happy that you feel such peace about this experience... it's crazy like that, right?!
