I honestly could not have asked for a better trip in NYC with my long time friend since birth, Madi. We just share so much in common and are such easy going people, it made it amazing. We can be completely 100% ourselves with each other - I love it. Granted our days were pretty much go, go, go because we didn't want to miss a thing. Let's just says we got a little delirious... Our sleeping was almost non existent and our feet thanked us when we got home but it was absolutley perfect. We did the basic tourist sites and strolled the streets, but my favorite was walking through Central Park with no place to be. It was amazing to be somewhere so busy yet almost feel as if you were in a completely different state. The people were fanstatic, everyone had warned me that the people were rude and stuck up - I was surely expecting that; however, not one person was rude. Everyone was so great. We met several people from there and all of the world which made our trip that much more fun. Just getting out and doing something completely out of both of our comfort zones made us realize how much we are missing. You can definitely say that neither of us wanted to come home, unfortunately we couldn't afford living there. Sad. I can't wait to see where our next choice of travel takes us. We're making this a habit... if you can't tell.
Being back home is nice though. Missing a few certain people and wanting to see a few certain people made coming home much easier. It's always a little exciting seeing people you want to see or miss. It honestly just makes me happy. I have such great people in my life, I couldn't ask for anything better. These last couple of months have been a real growing experience for me. I've been noticing little subtle changes about myself... I'm growing into someone I never thought I'd be, but I'm loving it. I'm being more open and honest to myself. I'm not holding back certain feelings and expressing my thoughts. If I like how I feel in the moment then why would I mess that up with over analyzation? I'm not anymore. I'm loving who I am and what I am capable of being. I'm not afraid. If I fail I fail. It's okay. If I succeed I succeed. That's okay too. I'll take what I can and roll with it.
As we know.. I always have to have a song with every blog post. This song has nothing to do with my post. But it's a repeat song for me (which means I'm obsessed with it). It's so incredibly beautiful.
I surrender who I’ve been for who you are,
For nothing makes me stronger than your fragile heart.
If I had only felt how it feels to be yours,
Well, I would have known what I’ve been living for all along.
What I’ve been living for
