Spontaneity is not something I’ve always been good at

Every time I go to a new place in Puerto Rico, I fall a little bit more in love. This tiny island has it all – a lush rainforest, the most beautiful beaches, unique wildlife, vibrant cities. There’s still so much I want to see before I leave. I’m slowly learning to take life day by day – I’m on island time now, where everything is mañana, as I’ve heard a lot since I’ve been here. So I’m hoping the next trip I take is just as spontaneous and wonderful as this one was. And even when I leave Puerto Rico, I think I’ll be spending less time planning and more time living.

Being able to create an aesthetic for the brand and reflect that in the posts, giveaways and stories was a great learning experience for myself (as I want to work in digital marketing)

Overall I have enjoyed working on this project the past few months. When I started the brand had only just launched its website and had a little following. It is now close to 500 followers and has started to build a loyal customer base with weekly purchases, and an Instagram account that showcases those customers/users.

Growing up I changed what I wanted to be when I was older probably every other week

I’ve learned that I can’t control that and it’s nothing for me to stress out about now. What’s most important is living in the moment and being forever grateful for what you have and for what you’ve experienced. I’ve found that stressing about the future has only made me feel worse because it is so unknown and irrelevant right now and once I’ve started to accept that, it has been a much more positive experience.

I should challenge myself and face my fears

Keywords: blog

I’ll be trying out a bunch of activities that I find interesting alone. Hopefully through this experience that I’m sharing with you, I will learn more about myself. My blog will be focusing on lifestyle, fashion, self love, and everything about me. Rather than experiencing this alone I think it is quite nice to share it with other people through blogging. I think that there are people out there who will relate to me.

I came to a realization that for the past year or so, I had been living in the imagination of where I wanted to be, I almost let go of where I was

Keywords: {0}

Thoughts of my life and where I was imagining it in the next five years took away the reality of everyday, and it became so tiring. It robbed me of the joys of today, and I am sincerely tired of it. I want to experience life now, while patiently and calmly waiting for tomorrow with beautiful expectation.

I’m finally taking on the “what kind of work do I want do” question that I may have consciously or subconsciously avoided for some time

I believe I’m designed to be an integral piece of how progressive organizations create a supportive and encouraging environment. I want to specialize in seeing a higher power collective where everyone experiences purpose, empowerment, and community. I want to provide my unique skills in organization, coordination, and interpersonal communication to connect individuals with each other and the organization.

I want to be seen and heard as an equal person

Keywords: I AM , me , myself , whoIam

I’m a person with a story. I’ve seen numerous effects, and I’ve had to do numerous effects that I would not want to do again. But I’ve learned from them, and it has made me who I’m moment. I’m a person who has studies and passions. I’ve the capability to feel happiness, sadness, wrathfulness, and more. I’m also an individual with my own studies, solicitations, and pretensions in life. All of these effects make me who I’m as a person or existent.

Being in a healthy mindset allows me to be reflexive without the turmoil I’d have experienced before

Keywords: Life in general , Personal Growth

For years I had disconnected myself from my own needs. I had found that ignoring them was a survival strategy, experience had taught me that I was safer that way. This wasn’t a sustainable approach. I’d become so good at hiding and ignoring my needs that I spent years going through life numb to the good experiences I should have been having. All my actions were routed in expectations and obligations. When that got too much for me I turned to food, drink and drugs to fuel actions. It was ok that I needed to spend the day in bed, it was a hangover rather than depression caused by my unhealed trauma. It’s fine that I drank before I went out, that was me being savvy with money as I wouldn’t spend so much at the club. My binge eating was tied to the days when I was suffering malnutrition from before my adoption (I don’t recall that, I think I may have made it up. I recall walking to collect water with a container on my head as part of my chores, but never hunger…) and the list of justified negative behaviour that sustained the numbing of my emotions is endless. This was never sustainable, and that’s a good thing.
