For better or for worse (most likely the second), I was back home.

In some ways a lot has changed inside, but you can't really see that from a picture. If you look closely you can see the passage of time in a different way.
Take a look at the shirt on the left. This was the same shirt I was wearing in the picture of me leaving for my trip (pictured on right). Notice how it is different between the two pictures. Its faded and the collar has frayed. I hope the same thing hasn't happened to me.
