July.

Five weeks ago I had no idea where I was going to live this summer, nor how I was going to make enough money to get by. All of my "friends" were about to move back to the US and my life as I'd come to know it was officially coming to a close without any plan for the coming three months whatsoever.

I was stressed. Not overly so, just appropriately shaken, standing at the ledge and having no idea what would be there when I jumped. But I knew there would be something. Uncertainty means anything is possible, and if there's one thing Pinterest has taught me, it's that perspective is everything and you send just as much energy worrying as you could use in creating the right vibrations and energy to prepare yourself for something great.

I took the month of July off from blogging. I was tired. I didn't know if I'd have much to write about. I just needed a break. And I'm very grateful I allowed myself that break without feeling even the slightest tinge of guilt. But! I'm rested and ready to go again. I adore my blog and having a place I can mentally, emotionally and spiritually escape to each night to digest and reflect upon my day.

So how was July? July was good. I got to live in the most adorable boho apartment in my favorite neighborhood in the whole world, Malasaña! I got to wake up each morning with sunshine pouring through my own personal balcony. I could walk out my front door and be in the center of Madrid in seconds! But what really made living there so great was David! :)
