Sometimes you have to leave all you know to realize all you already have.
This is my greatest lesson learned!!
Loving this opportunity for travel and all it entails but missing so much back home- my friends, my bed, my cute cozy NY apartment, my clothes, but most importantly...MY FAMILY!!!! I miss them all, and there are quite a few! ;)
Realize that a portion of this trip was running away. In October my little brother Pedro was killed in a car accident. It was so heartwrenching and difficult to deal with and did so alone(well not without friends and support but with no family nearby). Six weeks later, my uncle( who took me in (along with his amazing wife, my Aunt Cathe) and raised me and whom I consider like a father)was diagnosed with cancer. It just became too much pain to deal with. And so, as part of a solution, an attempt to run away from my hurt, pain and dissilusionment with life, I packed up my belongings and headed on this journey. After a billion tears and a lot of insight I have realized that as long as I choose to love- pain, hurt and loss is inevitable.
So here I am, feels like a million miles away and missing my family like crazy!!!! I´ve always said if my brother´s and sister´s were not related we may not be friends(we are sooo different) but I am so greatful that God has Blessed me with them. Crazy, silly, goofy and chaotic they are a part of me and have made me who I am.
And my friends- well, I see my friends as the family I have chosen.
I miss you all so much. Please know that while I am not currently with you, it is your love, laughter and all the memories that are sustaining me while I am away!
love n miss, Carolina
y para todo mi familia en Mexico-te quiero y te extrano mucho!
