It's a phrase that defines Sevilla. It means "They have not left me". It's the story of some general and his men, obviously, they didn't leave him. :)
But what hit me TODAY is that He hasn't left me.
He is here, was here before I got here and will always be here.
There are literally hundreds of things I could say at this point and I don't even know where to begin, honestly...I'm sure most of them will come with time and experience and...dedication to this blog.
People have been telling me since before I came to Spain that I wouldn't leave changed, but it's UNREAL how much of a reality that is to me in this moment.
Every place I go is different. Every word I say is different. Every person I meet is different. Every food I eat is different. Every thing I learn is different. How could I not leave different?
How could I write that down?
I'll attempt in the near future when I'm less exhausted and have uploaded some pics. Until then, much love from Spain and my address:
