Being on the verge of the end of the year I stop and think about what I have accomplished, learned and people I’ve met.
What I accomplish
Moving from Puerto Rico to New York City – Leaving the warm temperatures, loves ones and the life I used to know for a new city, all by myself. I had the idea of moving for the past 5 years and I finally did, it feels great! Thumps up for me!
I had some titles– I became a godmother of one of my bff’s little girl. I became the maid of honor of my bff’s wedding. Feel very bless and honor to be part of their special moments. 🙂
Got a job that I like – even tho this job is not my passion because my passion is traveling…I’m grateful that I have a job instead not having a job at all.
Manage to stay healthy – Even though I like to party, drink, not get enough sleep and sometimes eat junk food, I managed to stay healthy and with a lot of energies. 🙂

Who I met
Friends:
New roommates– three awesome people from different countries and different points of view. Great people who were my support on bad and good times in this stage of my life…they are my friends! Very grateful for their friendship.
New friends– I started hanging out with people from PR and they are pretty fun to be around and it felt so close to home. Also, met awesome people along the way…I learn so much from them!

Interest (love life):
The guy from one month in PR– very intense relationship I had before moving to NYC. I even question staying on PR because of this guy. I was falling hard, but I had to move on because I had lots of plans for my future and sadly he wasn’t part of them. Wish him the best!
The guy that help me discover the city– I quickly moved to the city and I met an italian-american guy who was fun and very hostess! Nothing got serious here and I discover awesome places in NY because of him. That’s the end. lol
The guy I crush– this successful, intelligent guy I went on few dates was like my dream guy. Every time was so fun to be on his company and I idealized the idea of being with him, but he was unreachable. Why didn’t work out? He live the life like a rock star and his business was first, second and last. The end.
The guy that was too young for me– I wasn’t looking for anyone and I met this fun and interesting guy. The catch? he was only 23! Come on, I’m 28. At the beginning was so much passion and I was falling hard. I haven’t felt like this on years, but he didn’t wanted anything serious with me…hey, I don’t blame him, when I was 23 I just wanted to party and meet cute guys. I wish him the best as well!

What I learn
Life is an adventure– moving to NYC open my eyes! I discover new places, new ways of seeing life, listening to new music, learn from different cultures. I can move from anywhere in the world right now!
Friends vs. acquaintances– I discover I only have few friends that really care about me and is ok. I can hang out with the others…just not on a deep level like my real ones. Very grateful for the real friendships. 🙂
Family first, always! -Although my family is no longer a 10 minute drive, I talk to them every week and almost everyday. My family is the most important people on my life and our relationship have grown stronger since I left. I don’t take them from granted… I care and love them dearly. Also, I miss them a lot! Thanks to them I am where I Am now. Love you!
Love– I learned that I will meet people on my life that will be there for a reason, a moment, a lesson or maybe the three of them. I must cherish their company while it last and not get too attached on the idea of love, instead have fun and appreciate the good company. My life cannot always be about relationships and I have to learn when to move on or when is not good for me with no bad feelings (baggage). I know one day I will laugh about it! ha!
How I see the world– this one has been tough and I’m still figuring out. How I see the world is very different how others see the world. I like to live in a happy environment where bad things doesn’t happen, but the world is not like that. There’s a lot of pain, anger and suffering. I’m surrounded with a lot of situations I can’t control and my eyes have to see. What I will do? I will try to make a better world by focusing on the small things that make us human (give a smile, say thanks, say please, say sorry as often and help others). PS. sharing is caring!

What I want the next year? Oh my, I may have to make a new post for that one. haha
