You were one amazing, heartbreaking, soul-shaking year.
I am thankful,
Thankful for the amazing people I got to meet.
Thankful for the love I got to give and receive.
The lessons were a bit tough and I will definitely never be the same again.
But there are so many memories to look back at.
I got matching tattoos with my best friends.
I achieved so much professionally and personally.
Lost myself. But became someone better and wiser.
I learned that life is shorter and more unpredictable then I could have ever imagined.
I had to learn to deal with loss and regret.
Suffer with the idea of plans made that can never be executed.
I learned how vulnerable a heart can be.
But the most important thing I’m taking from this year is to never take anything for granted, to always give all the love I can, to be gentle and kind. Never go to bed angry. And most important of all appreciate every little things, every small victory and every single person in my life.
This year was one hell of a ride but we made the best out of every moment.
We survived even the darkest nights and the deepest wounds when we thought we couldn’t bare any more.
This year felt like it would be the death of me but it was the death of the person I use to be.
At a moment’s notice, in the blink of an eye, from one second to another, everything can change. there’s no preparing for it sometimes. just accepting it.
Being apart doesn’t mean we lack togetherness; there are a multitude of ways to forge connection with someone aside from physically being with them.
It really is the little things – never underestimate just how healing a warm walk or reading a good book can be.
Empathy is still a foreign concept to many so surround yourself with people who care about more than just themselves.
Just because the world stopped spinning for a few months, doesn’t mean time stopped moving; the months may have bled into each other but that doesn’t mean we were living in an endless march - October still came and it blessed us with orange leaves and crisp skies. July brought the fireworks it promised it would. December still came with Christmas Love and Snow Flower. it may have felt different, but it was still there.
Don’t be afraid to stand up when others are telling you to sit down; don’t be afraid to shout when others are telling you to be quiet.
The people in your corner will save you in more ways than one and maybe, just maybe, you’ll be saving them too.
You don’t need a reason to do your makeup or wear a fancy dress. look like you’re going to prom in your backyard, eat Mc Donald’s with your face beat. who cares? “just because” is always reason enough.
That thing you’ve always wanted to try? do it. instead of starting your thoughts with “what if i” or “i could just” – do it. nothing’s holding you back except for you.
The world will turn upside down in more ways than one and you are going to turn with it; all you can do is hold on tight and go with the flow.
It’s okay to be scared, it’d be scarier if you weren’t.
Injustice doesn’t stop because the world stopped; hatred will always be loud and ugly and it’s up to us to turn that pain into promise through education and action.
Being alone doesn’t have to be lonely. learn to fall in love with spending time with yourself.
We’re all connected in ways we never realised and we affect each other’s lives in more ways than we’ll ever truly understand. we’re all connected someway, somehow.
Just because it seems like everyone else is hustling, doesn’t mean you have to as well. move at you are own pace.
Don’t stop taking pictures just because things are ugly now; one day, you’ll look back and be glad you did.
We haven’t lived through a chapter of a US history textbook – we are still living through one. just because the page is turning doesn’t mean everything is changing. be patient.
You’re allowed to just be. you’re allowed to just exist.
Don’t stop chasing happiness just because it’s harder to get a hold of.
🏅 Foto del día 2020.. you sly fox! That was a rollercoaster I will never forget. But the universe works in mysterious ways and somehow gives us exactly what we need.

I sincerely hope YOU are safe, fulfilled, and ready for your next adventure.
