Cold, warm, breezy
Sad, happy, angry
I have felt these profoundly
Food, shelter, clothing
Cocooned, pampered and enlightened
I have been provided with more than enough
With food for the mind and the soul
I have thrived
Blissfully, carelessly, and conservatively
Now that I am far from my nest,
It is difficult to recognize the person
I was before
Neither can I recognize the person
I am now
Being away from home
has taught me a lot
About Independence, Freedom and Tolerance
But above all, about change
Change is inevitable
Change is unstoppable
But Change is not irreversible
Only you can make that one step
Towards change
Wise words can be listened to
But they are worth nothing
If they are not understood and experienced
