Why do I love it here so much?
I love the sound of the train going by as I walk under the tracks, especially on a beautiful day.
I love the vibrancy of the city when it starts to warm up after winter. The smiles on people's faces as they walk by because it's finally not freezing for once.
I love going out to breakfast by myself and knowing that this is where I belong. This place has made me more confident and independent.
I love having my own space where I can express myself and feel at home. Making tea or coffee, lying on my couch, burning my candles, making some popcorn, and watching movies, tv, or netflix.
I love my volleyball teams and realizing that this is something I am good at and that makes me feel alive.
I love getting better at my job and starting to connect with coworkers more as well as students. I have a graduate degree, which is pretty awesome.
I love my beautiful, amazing friends who I can rely on to keep me company and be there for me in tough situations while my family is far away.
I'm still learning all the time and I make mistakes, and that is okay. I'm learning to be okay with that and to let go of regrets and guilt. I am learning to not compare myself with other people because as long as we are happy, each one of us is on the journey that is right for us.
