Feelin' Groovy

I have recently come out of a mini-depression, recently like this past weekend recently and let me tell you, it feels good. I've been reflecting on it, trying to figure what caused it and how I can prevent future occurences.
I think it started with the end of the play. The play was truly a high time for me, probably one of the single highest 2 week periods of my life. Then it was just, over. And I was left feeling like I need to do more, need to be more. Yet still not knowing what that entails... always, always searching. It's interesting, my mom has questioned me, since I started my world travels, on what I am "running" from. And lots of foreigners in Korea believe everyone here is running from something, even it is just debt. So I have seriously examined this concept and I really believe I am not "running" but "searching". Damn if I don't think "running" might be better, at least then you know what it is....Anyway, this sense of "searching" is always with me and during the play I felt right with the "search" but afterwards all my feelings of searching felt excaberated. Then two of my best friends here left within 3 weeks of each other, 9 months and I had so far really avoided the "always leaving" phenomonon that so many foreigners talk about here, and then WHAM! And those two leaving also made me realize my own contract is up in 3 short months, which completely brings me full circle back to "what the heck am I going to do next?" Where is the search taking me?
What pulled me out of the funk? Hmmm, new friends, old friends being there, friends from home pointing out, from an outside perspective what's been going on in my life. I have to say, email is amazing that way.
So, that being said, I am feeling excited and antsy that my contract is coming to an end. But also struggling with next steps... so if anyone has some cool ideas for someone who already can't decide but is open to anything, pass them on...
Peace Out & Smile, It's a Beautiful Day!
