Hello Hello, babes!
My oh my – have I missed you.
First off, very sincerest apologies that it has been a long time since I have posted. January 2019 I believe was my last post. I am hoping to get back at it with my blogging and keeping up my website. But before I do that.. I feel like I need to update you all on my life and what I have been up to. Basically, give a recap of 2019.
The elephant in the room.
Probably the biggest change right now in my life is that I have finally figured out my passion – and that is becoming an attorney and this is honestly a huge part of why I have left all you so MIA this last year. I posted a blog in December 2018 regarding another life update. In this blog, I discussed a yearning to figure out what my master plan would be, what was my passion career-wise, where was my life going, etc. I talked about how I had recently quit a job at non-profit to pursue a career at a corporate law office – at the time, I was very unsure of my decision but I knew it would help me to decide if becoming an attorney was still in the cards (I studied Poli Sci) or if it was a dream that I could kiss goodbye and leave in the past. Surprisingly enough, it was a passion that was soon ignited shortly after starting my new job and I haven’t looked back since. That being said, I spent all of 2019 studying for the LSAT exam – took it twice, did well this last time, and got it done and dusted. I am hoping to start law school this upcoming Spring 2021.
Other things keeping me busy was the fact that I got a second job to make some extra money to pay off post-Spain and living abroad debt. Well worth it and even got my student loans paid off.
Between those two things I was honestly very busy and had zero to little free time – unfortunately to even put the mental space towards things I enjoy, like sharing my life with you.
The other elephant in the room.
Babes, I was a hot mess in 2018 after moving back and most of 2019. Mentally and emotionally, I was not in a good place. 2019, if anything, was yet another huge year of growth and learning. They say that year 25 is the hardest and well, I believe them. In the rough of it all, I found myself slowly losing independence, avoiding my wellness, and picking up toxic traits. I found myself very empty and slowly sinking into hole that I wasn’t quite sure how to dig myself out of.
Don’t get me wrong – 2019 wasn’t all bad. The end of the year brought me so much clarity, healing and happiness that I tear up just thinking about it. Knowing that I wasn’t in a good place at the beginning of the year, I booked a flight back to Vigo for October. This trip was what I needed for a really hard reset. Going back and seeing my favorite place with a new set of fresh eyes brought so much peace to my heavy mind and gave me so much happiness that I had lacked for almost one year.
Other highlights of 2019 include – seeing my family more often, creating new friendships, meeting someone who would bring me so much happiness and comfort, crying to Lana Del Rey live at the Cotillion, exploring more of ICT and continuing to grow.
There’s not much more to say than other than right now I am in a good place and I am so happy to be back here with you. <3
What have you guys been up to? I would love to hear all about it.
xoxo

p.s. leaving this video of “Ride” by Lana Del Rey here because I think I have listened to it every day since her concert. The monologue still makes me feel every emotion possible.
