quotables*

in need of a jolt...here are some words that helped: "The reason we struggle with insecurity is because we compare our behind-the-scenes with everyone else’s highlight reel." "I’d rather have a life full of mistakes than a heart full of regret." "The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them." "We are not what we know but what we are willing to learn." "When you blame others, you give up your power to change." "The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance." "Breakdowns can create breakthroughs. Things fall apart so things can fall together." "May your home always be too small to hold all your friends." “If you are always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be.” Maya Angelou “If it’s still in your mind, it is worth taking the risk.” Paulo Coelho “All men should strive to learn before they die, what they are running from, and to, and why.” "My experience is that the teachers we need most are the people we’re living with right now.” <3

ready to fly~






in a little over 7 weeks from now, i will be embarking on a journey through europe. solo. some moments are full of anticipation and excitement, others of doubt and fears. but i know it is meant to be and i cannot wait to submerge myself in a new environment. to learn, to expereience, to overcome fears, to soul search, to breathe in the new and breathe out the old. this will be one of my biggest adventures thus far in my life and at 25 years old, i trully beleive i'm ready to take it all on. i just want to stay positive and have nothing but good vibes and happy feelings surrounding this whole process. i'm hoping to be able to update this blog more frequently while away since i will have much free time when traveling between destinations.
