After thinking about it for a little while today, I've decided to dedicate several posts (probably long ones, sorry) to and about my mission. I've probably spoken at length to several people about it. But I doubt I've really divulged everything. I'm doing this because I feel the need to be honest about it and I'd like to enlighten others about it. Keep in mind that my experience is 100% unique and is no way similar to anyone's mission experience, though there will be similarities to be found I'm sure. So, I might go chronologically in order to organize it for myself and everyone else, possibly separated by companions. Hopefully it will be funny and eye opening, but I can't promise anything, you might end up thinking something completely different, and that's to be expected I suppose. I might not immediately amend a bad decision with the end lesson, like "...I decided to kiss her, and it was amazing - only I learned later on that it was the worst decision ever blah blah blah" (spoiler alert: I didn't kiss anyone on my mission, it's just an example), and some experiences/decisions might be even more subtle than that. I'm sure the lesson will present itself later on in a future chapter! But, again, this is purely an experiment. Maybe I'll forget to wrap something up and I'll need a reminder, my mind isn't a steel trap.
Hopefully at the end I, like you, will be better to understand who I am and who I am today. And hopefully afterwords I'll rarely feel the need to bring up my mission experiences, being cliche is not a trait in which I hold high esteem. But there are some experiences that aren't cliche I promise.
Anyway, I'll possibly post the first tomorrow: Chapter 1 : "So, I'm 19 and think I'm smarter than everyone else"
-G'night
