The things I will miss

Today, I decided to sit down a write a list of the things I will miss about the States as I am preparing to start a new journey in my life. This is my Eat, Pray, Love moment.

Many people think I am really negative about the United States and that I do not appreciate what it has to offer, but honestly, I appreciate what it has to offer however, the things that I value above all else do not exist in our society.
