Baby Clothes
So I was packing up my house today, and my mom and I came across a huge bag of my baby clothes. I don't have a phone anymore so I wasn't able to take any pictures of them but honestly, it was very hard to believe that I was ever that small. The weird part was looking at the pieces of clothing and actually having flashbacks of them. I could remember times and moments when I wore and loved certain pieces of clothes. The mind though...

My Dream
My dream to this day is to hop on some sort of transportation and just get lost. My friend Marco was talking to us about how one of his favorite parts of his trip was when he was in Budapest and him and his friends decided to go to the countryside of it and just walk. They ended up getting lost and to him, exploring that part of the city without the stress of a destination was undeniably worth it. I've always wanted to get stranded in some little town with great music and great people. Even if it's just for one day, I'd really want to feel as though I don't have the pressure of the city's expectations and rapid atmosphere. One of my friends from Brown was telling me about how in her town (Trumbull, Connecticut), she gets to go to little concerts and shops and small stages every single weekend to watch low-key, rising bands. I want to do that so badly! I definitely need to get out of the city soon.

An Ocean Away
What I've discovered over these past (almost) 9 months is that it doesn't take two separate people to make a whole. You need two whole people who are willing to share their worlds with each other to make it work. I don't think I've ever missed anyone so much but like you said...this is the hardest yet easiest thing I've ever had to do.
Tattoo
So, I finally just turned 18. And, for my 18th birthday, I really wanted to do something just for me. Lately, my parents and I have been arguing about what I want to pursue as a career. I would literally settle for any major they wanted. But one thing that I really want to pursue, regardless of it being simply a minor, is music. I've thought of this time and time again. People will try and strip me of my passions and my dreams as I get older. Many people will find ways to try and convince me out of the things I love. There is always a negative side to everything. One thing that I was told once was "El no siempre esta ahi, lo que tu buscas es el si." That, translated in english, is "The 'no's' are always there, what you're looking for is the 'yes'". I have to always remember to stay fueled on my love for music until one day I have all the courage in the world to take it head on. In the meantime, I have to accept that people will disapprove of my choices and thoughts. Well, that's what comes with being young, I guess.
So, I will never let anybody try to tell me differently about music. Whether it remains a hobby or I decide to take a leap with it when I'm older is up to me. Regardless of what I do, it will always be the one thing that has stayed constant with me all these years. Therefore, I wanted to have a reminder of what it meant to me and I went for it and got a tattoo of precisely that...

Free your mind
And whenever someone asks me what the legendary part of my high school years was, I'll tell them about these moments right here and right now. Because everything that I've worked for, all the happiness I've strived towards is finally right here, right in front of me. And I'm absolutely loving it. The key? Freeing your mind.
