*en gaditano* ¡Holaaa guapaaa!
2 things to keep
- Escribir. Writing was something you took up to pass the time. It has become something to anchor you, push you and help you to remember. Lots of what you wrote was “bad”. Remember the difference between writing for yourself and writing for others. Remember that in both ways, though different, you can be 100% authentic. You are busy. Find time to write.
- Every moment is an opportunity. Many will be “missed”. That is okay. You have been gifted absurdly exceptional people & your opportunities are mutual. The importance of taking time for human connection. Especially with those who stir in you that feeling that cannot be named- warmth in your chest; fireworks in your mind; sound ground beneath your feet.
2 things to delete (continue moving from)
- Remember the freedom of fewer possessions- knowing that all you need is in your backpack. Okay not that extreme, but continue relying more on people & experiences & the dumb shit you think that leaves you laughing aloud to color your world rather than things.
- Though you must always question who you are, know that the answers are allowed to surprise you. Your past, present and future are all parts of the same world and it is an absolutely incredible one.
¡Adiooo, guapa! ¡tahlueyoo!
I wrote this after the first week of winter quarter. That was the first week back in Denver since I’d left for Spain the previous Fall. I returned much the same as I was when I left, though I may have learned a thing or two.
