Five Things to Take/ Five Things to Leave

My dear friend Jancy suggested making a list like this might be a good way to hash out some of the insanity that is currently occupying my brain. Here is what I came up with.

To Take:
1. Patience, empathy and my newfound cultural appreciation
2. My new healthy livestyle and eating habits
3. Frugality and living simply
4. Time for self-reflection
5. Appreciation for even the smallest successes

To Leave:
1. Not fun and difficult to pronounce Tashlheet/ Arabic words
2. The constant and relenting dirt and dust that coats everything
3. Looking like a local and not showering
4. Loneliness and boredom
5. All the negative feelings I have about Moroccan men and harassment
