I am awful at goodbyes. Really, really awful—like cliché awful. It’s not like it’s a fun thing, you know? I don’t ever know where to begin and then things slip into akwardness and I get fidgety and basically forget how to speak. Anyways, how can you say goodbye—you don’t know if you will see someone again or if your paths will cross randomly in the future. Who knows, right? That’s why I always find myself blurting out “See you later!” not to avoid actually saying good-bye, but I really think that you just truly never know, so why not believe you will see someone or some place again?
I have come to love that uncertainty over the past year, something I never thought I would grow accustomed to, but I have learned that as well as other countless lessons while experiencing Budapest. I am continuously thankful. I think mostly that Budapest was an experience which helped me “move into” the person I discovered in the previous year. It was sort of a year of decorating and settling in, but also realizing that many changes are still to come and should be welcomed with open arms. Looking back on some of the earlier posts, it feels good to know that I have absorbed much more than details about the policy process and how to best nip corruption in the bud. I know that I will carry these lessons far into the future— I won’t forget them anytime soon.
So anyways, this is the last blog and if anything, I hope I made you laugh a little over the past year.
XOXOXOXOXOXO
See you later.

Just let me join Filippo. Yes, indeed your blog has been an enjoyable read, and I am sorry it's the last one. I wish you all the best and more discoveries and more writing, Kate.
My friend has a theory that this age of let-us-all-be-digital is the end of the history. Once your blog is deleted or lost, there is no story or history..
But Kate, Kate..you must keep writing! If not here, if not about our lovely days in BP city, write about you. I will miss your stories. A LOT.
