Søren Kierkegaard Makes My Life Difficult

I remember thinking sometime in March
that I wanted to try living a more
pure life. I felt like everything
was just a little bit...

tainted.

I thought at the time that when I came out to
Thailand, things would be different,
that I would be different.
That I would be

pure.

I want to make it clear that I did
not
come to Thailand solely because I wanted to live a pure life.

I came for a lot of reasons.
Purity of heart was just one.

Turns out things are far more complicated
I am
far more complicated than I had originally thought.

If I have learned anything in
this first month it is
that I am very

very

small.

lek lek

That's Thai
for very small.
I guess I learned that too.
