Wandering Soul

I spent July 27th, 2013 celebrating the 2 year mark of my grandmother's passing. She was a strange woman who always kept to herself and never let anyone see her without her hair done; yet, she was beautiful in every breath she took. It was after the death of my grandma (the only living grandparent I had left) and my aunt's breast cancer diagnosis that I learned a valuable lesson. I should also note that this lesson was taught to me more specifically by my mother - who is kind, brave hearted soul. I learned the summer of 2011 that you should never take a day for granted and that a day spent unhappy is a day wasted. I've learned a lot in these past 2 years about myself, my family, my friends, and my significant other. If it wasn't for her, I don't think I would be living this East Coast life and experiencing so many new, exciting things.

I apologize for the long delay between posts, but as I have mentioned previously, I spend a lot of my time wandering around looking for my next adventure. In these past few summer months I've traveled to Texas, California, Arkansas and Virginia. I've spent a lot of time by myself as well and I've realized that sometimes I care too much about money and other insignificant things in this world. I've also come to the realization that I enjoy the memories of traveling, laughing, spending time with my favorite people more so than tangible items such as clothes, beauty products, etc. I've been thinking a lot lately about where I want to be in the next 5 years: what my career will be, where I'll be living, who I'll be spending my days with, and many other fleeting thoughts. It's a strange thing trying to figure out your future, yet still living in the moment. My thoughts usually jumble together, much like this post, and then I end up drinking a class of wine and relaxing with a good book...which is what I'll be doing in just a moment. I hope to post soon on recent events just to give my blogger audience a little more insight as to what I've been doing for the past few months.
