Sea You, New Me.

 Let's be real...

It has totally been a MINUTE since my last update! I've been busy trying to build my life. (Adulting is totally hard.) Vacationing in Cancun was ah-mazing! I had loads of fun and got that summer experience I was CRAVING. Now I'm back in my home town and everything is the same, almost everything. I learned new things about myself and had small change, but definitely not insignificant. 

1. I value independence. A LOT. I've learned I can do things on my own, it may be anxiety inducing but it definitely feels GOOD.

2. I like sushi. :) 

3. I am ready and willing for change.

During my vacation I felt like a child, in a bad way. I wasn't allowed to go see places on my own and the staff kept mistaking me for underage. I may only be 18 but I am an adult now so I expect to be treated like one. I feel like one of the reasons why I had felt so anxious to start college and move away is because my family discourages it. I totally love my family to death but I need to plant and grow my own life. They make change seem bad and selfish but it is the whole opposite of that. Change allows strength and compassion to enter your life more efficiently. It makes you grateful for what you have while allowing your mind to learn more about the world. 

Being in the city of Solidaridad exhibited the mentality of there being more out there in the world. Now that I am back home I see opportunity. I feel a bit stuck now that I'm back here, same old routine, but at the same time I am looking forward to what the future will bring me. 

Summer has been great but I'm also ready to see what's next in store for me! :)

QOTD: Quit letting who you were, talk you out of who you're becoming. 

Talk soon,
