Does a lesson ever get learned? Or does the thrill outweigh the consequence, incessantly. They say to put your energy into those who are constant. Those who are safe. And what they say is true because it generates a greater risk of having a healthy love. But do those people realize that these qualities comeContinue reading “when does a thrill end?”

people are temporary, impact is lasting
People are temporary. It’s a hard truth because we don’t even want to believe that our own existence is temporary. But that is the beauty and the pain about life. And this does not mean their lives are temporary, it just means that their purpose in yours is. There are a lot of people inContinue reading “people are temporary, impact is lasting”
a brief hiatus
Hello all – The last few months I have taken a step back from blogging. This was not intentional or caused by any event or further purpose; just a reflection of life. There are seasons for everything and I was simply enjoying my life in the moment that I didn’t even think twice to documentContinue reading “a brief hiatus”
it’s all about what you give
Your life is measured by what you give, not what you get. We are each handed a different deck of cards that we are born with. Our family, body, face, hometown, and demographics related are all out of our control. When we use what we gain or acquire to measure ‘success’ and ‘happiness,’ we headContinue reading “it’s all about what you give”
fate loves the fearless
This is my new favorite quote and addresses a fundamental phenomenon. One that I believe firmly in & love to discuss. To keep all attention on the quote itself, I want to keep this blog post short. I speak almost entirely in quotes & sarcasm; therefore, I understand that this language may be foreign toContinue reading “fate loves the fearless”
loneliness
Contrary to how social media may make it seem, studying abroad is not all happiness and gelato. As I sat at Pizzale Michaelangelo, my favorite sunset spot, I got my first real feeling of homesickness. Truthfully, I have had very minimal homesick moments, and they don’t last longer than a minute when I do. TheContinue reading “loneliness”
humans are humans, no matter where
The world is so big, with approx 7.7 billion people residing everywhere. The funny thing is, while every person is uniquely their own, every human’s instincts and emotions are similar. We are just raised in different environments. This is one of the most notable lessons I have learned in my journey abroad thus far. WhileContinue reading “humans are humans, no matter where”
a liberating new beginning
I can’t even explain how liberating it feels to go somewhere brand new and start over. This past year I felt suffocated by the world more than I ever have before. I don’t think anyone besides my roommates and my family knows the extent it got to. It felt that everywhere I went or anyoneContinue reading “a liberating new beginning”
21 21 21
Twenty-one. You read that right. My (real) ID finally reads that I am able to get in any bar I want to. For my 21st, irony played its own part. For the first time in my life, I celebrated a birthday in a country where turning 21 doesn’t have the amplitude it does in theContinue reading “21 21 21”
practicing non-attachment
The art of non-attachment is allowing what comes to you, come and what leaves you, leave. When putting substantial importance on the things you do not have in your life, you block the ability to focus and enjoy what you have. Similarly, when placing expectations on people or situations, you simply try to control whatContinue reading “practicing non-attachment”
