hello people!

im back! from the best trip ever ever ever. i went to so many places and saw so much and me being me, i didn't document much of my trip in pictures. aye caramba!

every trip away from home gives you a chance to take a break from everything you've been doing for the last 11 months and to really see how you've changed in that period of time. i think, to say the least, this past year has been a lot of things. its been nothing short of surprising with every month bringing its share of obstacles and oh shits and what-am-i-gonna-do's and most importantly, opportunities.

in these 3 weeks i've come down from my high chair to see the things that matter the most. i have 2 parents who do so much to provide for me, i've got a fun and incredibly loving family to fall back on and i have the rest of my life to live, laugh and make mistakes. i think happiness comes from within and right now, i am so so grateful for life.

Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know
'cause it won't last - the worries will pass
All your troubles they don't stand a chance
And sometimes it takes more than a lifetime to know
Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know


happy christmas!
