#realtalk


The longer I am in service I realize how much we, as PCV’s, contort our journey in social media.   Don’t get me wrong some things that we post really do showcase the work we do. But the honest truth is that our daily thoughts may not be as interesting or profound as we make them out to be. This post is dedicated to the daily thoughts of a PCV.

Just killed three flies #lordoftheflies #killinem

9 months in service and I still haven’t shit my pants #shithappens #nottome

Retract that last status #shitmypants

Missing my one true love #chesseplease

I financially support my town post office with how much mail I send #hoesindifferentareacodes

Two weeks no water? Its cool I didn’t want to shower anyway #whatsthatsmell #ohthatsme

Best advice since arriving in country? Never trust a fart #preachit

Day 3 since I have left my house #doireallyneedit

Today I watched two seasons of Orange Is The New Black #prison #iunderstand

Its been a week since I shit my pants #onedayatatime

I admit it, sometimes I flirt with the fruit suuk guy to get a discount on my oranges #ballinonabudget

I love it when people forget my name so they call me foreigner in the local language #saymyname #saymyname
*For the record I, Andrea Spake, have not yet joined the cool kids club of shitting my pants. But it is a constant fear for many of us PCVs. No one should live a life of fear. I would like to ask you to take a moment of silence for all PCVs who have experienced this tragedy.
