I Can Still Feel You, Even So Far Away


It's starting to get cold and the leaves have begun to change colors, in honor of Fall. It’s been two months since I arrived to this far away land. Ever since I announced I was moving to Chile, people have been telling me how brave I am. I don’t feel brave, but it makes me feel great knowing that others find courage in my actions, even if it’s only vicarious. I am far away, but I believe that humans can adapt to any circumstance. We are resilient, and if we' let go' things usually fall into place. "Life is like the surf, so give yourself away like the tide" ( La vida es como la espuma, por eso hay que darse como el mar- Y tu mamá también). If there is anything I fear, it’s a stagnant life and that is why I swan dived into this experience. Every single day I wonder, how did I get so lucky? I have great friends spread across the world like a constellation and with that comes love and opportunities. So thank you for all the support and words of encouragement, because without y’all I am nothing.



Ps. If you want me to write about a specific topic, just let me know.
