Back in Mumabi

I love being back in Mumbai and getting to just laze around the house all day--wake up late, breakfast, shower, read, internet cafe, cook lunch, nap, read , afternoon chai, shower, cook dinner, meet up with friends in town, sleep--REPEAT! It's the perfect way to spend a week. Rest, relaxation, good food, and great company.

Vibhu brought me so much food back from Germnay, I'm in food heaven! Fresh European bread, loaded with nuts, seeds, and oats, 2 jars of peanut butter, homemade blueberry jam, chocolates, Haribo candies, and some of the best granola I've ever had. It makes me miss home just that much more!

Ok, so I know you guys are dying to know what is going on between Vibhu and me, and I haven't been very good about offering up many details. But what I can tell you is that, yes I do love him. But I am confused about his role in my life. I can't honestly say that I have confidence that we are meant to be together. I have an overwhelming feeling that something life defining will happen for me in Africa. This trip has always been about making it to Africa to do something, be it work, explore, or to learn something more about myself. Whatever it may be, Africa is the pinnacle of this year long journey for me, and until I go there I know that I cannot make any big life decisions. Vibhu has opened my heart to love again. My heart that had been shattered by love almost a year ago, has now come full circle in the healing process. Everyday my life is filled with more happiness, joy, and love, and I have Vibhu to thank for loving me the way every person deserves to be loved and for helping me to finally understanding the importance of never settling for second best.
