Postcards

It's wasn't until I sent postcards to my friends from Peru that I truly understood the value of our relationships and how they helped propelled me throughout my young adulthood. 

Relationships are imperative for development. Relationship, with their unique ability to transcend time and space, and are the basis of this experience we call LIFE. It is the medium in which all of our experiences take place, and is has the potential to either enrich or harm our lives.
I remember a time in my life where relationships were not something that I cherished or paid as much attention to. Because of the instability I experienced throughout my life (pre and post foster care), I never had anyone in my life long enough to really cherish them.
But as I address each new postcard, I can't help but feel grateful for my new outlook on relationships. I'm here in Peru because people really believed in Foster Youth Cultural Exchange and wanted to support me in this life changing adventure.

Cheers to good relationships with those who matter most!
