That was very insightful, thank you for sharing such a precious moment. It's a moment that really could be embarrassing if you let yourself get tricked by the feeling. But it is also a great lesson in revange... I am glad that you have decided revange may not be worth it, you're living your dream in deed.

One thing with dreams is that you are free to change them as you go, they morph and evolve over time almost always anyways. You just habe to adapt to it if it's still what you want.

I hope you make it to University in the US!

Great post!
