Mis Aventuras en Buenos Aires: October is over...

I've been here for 2 months. Wow. I feel like I remember first landing in EZE just yesterday. I have a month and 2 weeks left after this, time is really flying by.

This past month has been a really fruitful one in my life. This is also one of the happiest I've ever been in my life. For awhile I was thinking that my happiness had to do with my location: that maybe one of the reasons I was so happy was because I was in Buenos Aires. I think now I realize that my happiness had to do with the fact that I actively kept choosing happiness every day I've woken up…

This is one of the first times in my life I came to a new place with absolutely no one. No friends from high school or college, no family, no boyfriend, no one. I tried not to show it, but that absolutely terrified me. I've only been here for two months and I already have a long list of goodbyes I'll have to make come mid-December. I truly cherish all the friendships I've made here and hope I can continue them back home in the states.

Looking back now it's crazy seeing how all the dots have aligned in my life so far. How one choice in my life effected so many others. Right now I'm here for a reason, and I can think of every event that has lead me here but I still really have no idea where it is heading. I keep pulling this image of the falling dominoes all aligned in a certain pattern. Every life event I've had so far Is one of those dominoes, where will the next one take me? This has been my biggest reflection this past month, about how crazy the Universe is in all it's infinite wisdom.

I'm also wondering what it will be like when I go home, have I evolved? Has this experience ever changed me? How will my life back in Texas be affected by this experience when I go back? I have no idea how my the legacy of my study abroad will effect me when I'm back in the States. Isn't life just beautifully frustrating in that way? I'm trying to learn to embrace the uncertainty.

Besos y abrazos,

Julietta

This month I...
