New York, I Love You, But I Have To Let You Go

New York, I Love You, But I Have To Let You Go

After three years of living in New York City, I decided to call it quits. Many of you may read this and wonder, how could I leave the big city of dreams? Bona fide New Yorkers may scoff at how briefly I lasted. Those who lived here before and left may be the few who will understand without my needing to explain.

It’s okay to be dark without being bad. Darkness can embody a sort of beauty and delicacy, a resilience not rooted in negativity but rather in proud reconciliation of everything we’ve had to overcome to bring us to where we are. Our past, the darkness that we’ve had to face during our existence, can be the primary driver in our strive towards betterment and change. Without this stark contrast, our virtues could not shine as vibrantly, nor be appreciated as as such. #TheNomadsOasis #CelinnesOasis (at Parque Nacional de Tayrona Colombia)

As we move through our hectic lives, please remember how much Nature replenishes the soul. We built magnificent cities, but Nature built us.

It is a delicious vulnerability that, if we are courageous enough to accept and welcome, inspires the most sincere of thoughts. Nature paves a gateway to our soul, where at the door we may find that the battlefield scars that reside within – which we may have previously deemed ugly and unworthy of examination – are in fact strikingly beautiful for their resilience and ability to shape us.  #TheNomadsOasis

Every time I'm back in Rome, I visit the Pantheon. And every time, something has changed. I can never pinpoint what it is. Could it be that this timeless temple has altered in the span of a few months? Is it my perspective? Or perhaps... It's just me. I've changed. And how comforting it is that, no matter who I've become upon my return, my love for this place remains unaltered. #loveletter #italyiloveyou (at Pantheon - Piazza Della Rotonda)

Let go. Cede control over your surroundings and others around you, allowing the sun to shine because it burns with a fire none of us can comprehend and not because it's day and it must 🌞 #Rome #TheNomadsOasis (at Piazza del Popolo)
