I Believe

I believe in sleeping in, taking naps, and enjoying my morning coffee. I believe in yoga, namaste, and setting an intention to live my best life. I believe in days spent at the beach, volleyball until I can barely stand, and laughing until I can't breathe. I believe in spending time with my friends and family, living a life filled with adventure and passion. I believe in giving everything I have to everything I do, always seeking to do better, and learning from my mistakes. I believe in ice cream just because, and pizza more often than not. I believe in the beauty of baseball, the love of my hometown, and the acceptance and joy I have found in my new city. I believe that life is good.

Gratitude

When you go without something and then you finally get it, you never stop being amazed or grateful for what you now have. I am so grateful every day that I joined S3. It changed my life. It's the reason I'm still here in Chicago and have made a life here. Life keeps getting better every year. The friends I have made have helped me to become the best version of myself. So this is just a message of gratitude to the universe for sending me on this path. The coolest thing to me is that there are so many great things to come. Here's to another amazing summer.
