After I returned James to his home in Seattle, I took my time returning to my own home in Bellevue. Whenever I leave Bellevue, it's raining. In the cities that I go to, it's not usually raining, but, when I return to Bellevue, I see that it's continued to rain in my absence. I'm from a city that seems to always be shrouded in mist, always poured upon by its constantly overcast sky.

This kind of environment is natural to me. It brings out the best in me; it makes me feel content, but it empowers and motivates me to be adventurous and profound. The rain is dramatic, thus I feel inspired to make significant accomplishments, and assure that I am a stronger and deeper person by the end of the storm.

When I arrived at my house, I stayed in my driveway momentarily, listening to the rain and thanking the powers that be for creating such a dynamic world, and allowing me to be a part of it. I promise that my presence here will have tremendous effects. Some things in this amazing world aren't beautiful. Poverty, violence, hunger, oppression...

With those who share this dream with me, I'll help to diminish the injustices of the world, so that even the harmed and the cynical can feel as awestruck by the magnificence of Earth and of humanity as I do.

Thank you all for inspiring me with your kindness. I want to always recognize the incredible power that comes from the goodness of people, and from the way the world turns all by itself. Even the most average of people has the power to rescue or destroy others. Fate is completely controlled by us. Because of that, I'll make sure that my actions throughout my life will be only for good. It makes me smile when I realize the true volume of people in this world who feel the same way.
