Maybe the most important post of all. So what have I learnt?
1. Saying "yes" as often as you can keeps life interesting no matter where you live. There are experiences and places to be found in any city; little treasures worth discovering.
2. Balance is so important. When you feed your body, mind and heart, that's when you're at your happiest. The summer I spent in Austin was heaven on earth. I learnt to cook and share meals with special housemates. I ran in the afternoons and played beach volleyball as the sun set. I walked to my internship everyday excited to be surrounded by great people and music. I loved freely and openly hoping I'd finally meet someone to share my adventures with.
3. Good friends are like family. Good friends make a city a home. And good friends will always lend a helping hand.
4. Learning to listen to yourself rather than other people is really a skill. Someone once said, "You're never going to know what people really think of you until your funeral, and then you'll be dead." So go for that crazy dream! Be brave enough to admit what you want in life. What's the use of being scared to fall down, if you never try to fly.
5. Today reminded me of the hardest lesson. Sometimes no matter how much you want something, it just doesn't work out. Life happens. You're headed down one path and then you get shoved over into a ditch! But it's what you do when you fail that shows true character. It comes down to re-evaluating what you want in life. And that changes all the time.
