Arriving Abroad...
Sharing my thoughts-turned-poetry upon arriving in Spain
20 september 2023 (day of arrival)
I feel comfort, love & fresh air
I feel excitement & mourning in my bones
sirens blasting, horns honking away outside my window with a city vista
mountains peak at me in the distance; reminding me of home
where I left most of my heart but came here to gain a new addition
full of wanderlust and adventure

waves of familiarity in a place so far from home
remind me that we all share this human experience
regardless of what continent we are on
some of us follow different rules, but none of us are living the wrong way

isn’t it funny the way the universe listens to the desires of our hearts?
we hope and we pray and we dream while the higher powers silently take action
eavesdropping on our soul’s wishes; taking note of our efforts
& somehow we always end up right where we need to be
surrounded by those who fill us up and raise our vibrations;
those who match our energy and make us feel the omnipresent power that is the magic of love
it’s almost as if this unworldly power will work in our favor
if only we let it

it is both terrifying and beautiful to delve into a new life
so much freedom to recreate who you are yet there is a great absence of the comfort you feel in your old ways
is there a balance? a perfect amount of change to undergo?
do you lose yourself while still clinging to the bits of yourself that you have fallen in love with?
change is inevitable, they say, but change can be hard to embrace
because what happens if that change makes you realize that you are not who you thought you were

i’ve taken the plunge into unknown waters
but now it is time to swim; to dive deeper and push my limits
I know my body can take it, but my heart and my mind are racing
my body numb & immobile
but with the slightest flutter of courage
i will begin to float
and i will start to kick against my fear of the unknown
And now (of course), some pictures (:
