What Two Years Will Do

Two years will change your mind. Two years will change your views. Two years will take away your friends and family. Two years will threaten the fragile nature of love. Two years will age you, but in slow gradual ways that you're not noticing until you stumble across an old photo of yourself. Two years will change your weight. Two years will change your mind. Two years will pass and you'll still be there. Two years will change your sense of humour. Two years will happen as you stand around wondering what's next.

Two years of bathroom-mirror self-portraits. Two years of drunken photos. Two years of terrible karaoke videos. Two years of washed-out clothing and hanging up your clothes to dry. Two years of the foreign that becomes the familiar after two years. Two years of children and two years of teaching. Two years of fantastic food and an improved lifestyle.

Two years of questioning the paths of old love. Two years of hesitating in possibilities for new love. Two years of passing on opportunities that could have been if you were staying for more than just, say, two years.

Two years will challenge what you know. Two years will improve you, assuming you choose the correct two years.

Two years will change your mind.
