It’s been a while since I’ve updated my life on here. Let alone write anything on tumblr. I used this platform to relieve stress and express my feelings.
Update:
It’s 2020, I’m 26, I moved to New York December 2018. I currently lived there, but also currently at home with my parents during this pandemic.
Realizations;
While being home with my parents, I’ve noticed how much I have grown. I also realized how much I love New York and how amazing 2019 was for me. Regardless of a bad break up and being introduced to Santeria for a couple of seconds... it was a great mother fucking year.
Time stamp;
I moved to New York when I was 24. I spent my 25th birthday in New York. I spent two Christmas’s and New Year’s Eve in New York.
What I learned;
While living in NYC, I learned to be on my own. I learned what I liked and what I didn’t like about myself. I learned to take the subway and lost myself a couple of times haha. I learned make new friends and also what I wanted in a relationship and what I didn’t. I learned that I love my career and that I am very passionate about it. I grew a lot the last couple of years in my career. I am grateful for the opportunities that have been presented in my life. I learned to be myself and I’ve created a wonderful person. I learned that you do anything that you put your mind to. I learned to appreciate my alone time. I learned how to be disciplined and self motivated. I am a full time student and a full time executive pastry chef in NYC. I learned who I was and who I want to be.
Other important things;
I really love New York though it sometimes feels lonely. But I love the people and the food. I’ve had crazy adventures with my friends. I’ve met crazy people with whom I’ve created many great memories. I’ve explored nyc by myself which I find astonishing. I wasn’t afraid to walk around and get lost by myself. ( okay fine, low key was scared but I just went with it)
Crazy;
I’m moving back to Philadelphia where home is. Due to finishing college with my associates degree in the healthcare field. I am applying for west Chester university. Or possibly applying for a college in New York. As I said, I want to move back. If I can find a way to work and go to college in New York. I’ll most likely will be taking that opportunity.
Moral of the story...
Get out of your comfort zone!
Take risks!
Don’t be afraid to go after what you want or what makes you happy.
Take a leap of faith.
Be a kind person and the doors will just open for you
But you also have to put the work in because nothing will be handed to you.
Don’t be afraid to be by yourself.
Don’t be scared to be alone.
Alone time is where you will find out more about yourself or create the person you want to be.
