I cried today.
I cried because my stomach hurt.
I cried because I missed my parents.
I cried because I'm in a strange land..known as India.
I cried because I missed my bed.
I cried because I heard Ben Harper and Nina Simone.
The fact that I had not heard them in a while made them so much more beautiful.
I cried because I accomplished something today: I finished a book.

But at the end of the empty well of tears I realized that its all worth it...
Its so much easier to be comfortable in life than it is to live your dreams.
Its easier to let life pass you by...being so comfortable.
At then end of the day, I can honestly say that it feels so much better to cry, to laugh, to breathe, because all of it is going to somewhere...going toward something that Im passionate about...and it makes everything so worth it.
