November Höhepunkt Urbana-Champaign: it was so surreal to see the university, with all the new construction since…2010. And a football game. Lord knows I don’t know anything about the sport. This year of adjusting back to American life feels living in a wholly different culture. __________ #reset2022 #usa (à Chapaign/Urbana, IL) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClxKN7KoiuzxtyZET_bbtJ2zSqA1VVoWy5-lxk0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Oktober Höhepunkt Mark Aguirre, MSc. International Cooperation in Urban Development Darmstadt: it took 4 years, mainly of my own doing. Finally, this masters is complete. Emotions that surfaced at the time— exhausted, relieved, daunted, proud, embarrassed, guardedly hopeful. There’s an ambivalence having finished this last chapter. Reaching the end of a 10-yr project, I’m coming out of it with a sense of trepidation. Of course there’s the obvious “what now” and unfinished tasks that occasionally overwhelm me through the day. But there are also realizations that have waded into the fore. Mainly they center on a wide array of relationships— with myself, my family, my friendships, and yes— previous, romantic endeavors. I’m not as self-assured in navigating them as I once thought, especially since August 2018. Nevertheless, with ambivalence also comes a sense of (positive) emptiness. Like the quiet that follows the last person after a bar closes. Or when your dearest friends board the train on the opposite platform and you’re all alone at the subway station. Or when you get into the car, suburbia’s roads becoming dark racing strips guiding your thoughts on the midnight drive back home. In all these situations, real and imaginary, I find myself at a pensive moment. It’s that empty space where once-high priorities now are firmly in the past. Thoughts and feelings that were pushed aside for years have come back now, roaring to be answered. Demanding their just compensation. Yet I can’t help but think, maybe he was right. In summer 2012 while bike-camping, I met a person who shared with me his perspective of life. That it’s a series of circles. While he didn’t elaborate what he meant by it, I think I’m beginning to see what that means for me now. It’s the year’s end, 2022. Maybe this “reset” year wasn’t meant to be a fresh, clean slate. Rather, in closing this circle, I come to it recognizing how messy of a process that it is. That it requires an earnest acceptance that the process may continue to be messy and unclear in the coming year. Lord (and of course, friends and family), guide me through to the next circle. __________ #reset2022 #deutschland #usa (à ULB Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek Darmstadt) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClxDegWo0d5O9R1V8mh6B01HOHelxNpTsbcqA40/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

RESET22: Januar Höhepunkten This is 2022. Something I’m trying out this year is to map out the major areas in my life that require the most attention. From vision and goals to steps and output, I’m challenging myself to see these areas through to completion. Regardless of what the outcome is going to be, what matters is that my actions align with all the major priorities. The year is designed to consolidate what’s built up over the last decade and reorient myself toward a more dynamic 2023. I’m hella nervous y’all but excited at the prospect that these could/will bear fruit in the months to come. This document serves as my personal contract to do just that. __________ #reset2022 #usa #deutschland https://www.instagram.com/p/CZpp-cnMsRG-Z6WZv0UVZ1oyNv7r1r5HCPG1bg0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Oktober 2021 Höhepunkten: what happens after Santiago? In my previous IG account, I shared my reflections and discoveries when I went on the pilgrimage. These pictures are from the 3-day walk that followed Santiago, the end of the Camino for many. At the time, I wondered what this walk to the northwest coast would signify for me. I mean, I already reached Santiago; what else was there to discover? I know now. Since returning to the US, I’ve been mentally processing what it means to come back, consolidate my previous lives (@krish931, I give you credit for the term), and reconcile all of these for the current moment. Admittedly, I oscillate between moments of relief for being home to those of trepidation over potentially “regressing” to a former self. With these pictures, that 3-day walk serves to remind me of the complicated nature of life in transition. It’s not always clear skies. Fitting as it was, on arrival at Kilometer 0, Soung-U and I saw both the sunset and cloud cover of the incoming rains. They existed together. And maybe that’s what my life is here now. A series of simultaneous and complicated moments. In moments when I’m hard on myself, I look at these pictures and whisper “I’m okay” until those unforgiving feelings subside. “I’m okay. Remember Muxía.” As difficult as this transition can be, I’m reminded to savor this period as I savored the walk. “I’m okay. Chicagoland is the answer.” This is life after Santiago. ___________ #endure2021 #reset2022 #xacobeo2021 #españa #usa https://www.instagram.com/p/CZiziypO4aws0s4Mvs3vf9e5ldCw2nMAO7XkTI0/?utm_medium=tumblr
