ups and downs

maybe it's because it's winter (although it doesn't really feel like it in murcia) but this week felt like an emotional roller coaster. some days i felt great and ready to take on the world and other days i was full of doubt, uncertainty and worry. i wonder where i'm going to be in the future? what i'll be doing? if i'm heading in the right direction? if i'm taking advantage of every opportunity that is given to me? if i'm doing what i'm supposed to be doing?

perhaps i over think things. i need to trust more and live in the present. i tell myself this quite often, but i guess i forget.

this week was nice in many ways...

-i ventured out and went to a knitting group at a cafe in murcia where i met new friends
-i tried some delicious cupcakes at a cute new tea and cupcake cafe (with one of the new friends that is unfortunately moving to berlin tomorrow)
-i went to yoga
-i enjoyed a new cd
-i'm enchanted by "the lord of the rings" when i get time to read (it's really delightful...i can't put it down)
-i had yummy tapas with roberto
-i ran
-i got annual doctor's appointments out of the way until next year!

what have you been up to lately?

here are a few pics from the last month on instagram...

  1. I would not worry for a minute. I always have ups and downs. We both made a big move moving accross the world and sometimes i feel like i don't belong anywhere really or that i belong everywhere and wish i could be in a few places at the same time. i think there is no right or wrong path, only the one you chose. we are so lucky by the time we'll be 25 we will have done more and seen more than average people, look a little in the past and you'll see that you are enjoying life, you have been taking opportunities and if what you are doing doesn't please you anymore you know there's always home or the rest of the world :) we both know you're not afraid of big moves so you'll know how to deal with one if it presents itself to you. do you think we are cursed in a way? i mean, we have done so much in the past few years, living a few months at a time, do you think we are cursed to feel weird when things seem to settle down? now that i have quit grad school and really have no plans for the future anymore i definitely feel down sometimes but you know the past is gone, the future isn't reachable, let's enjoy life one day at a time! and who knows what tomorrow will be :) i missssss you and love you tons!
