Discovering House Sitting

Image
  At the beginning of this year I was traveling with my mom, our two cats and our dog in our converted van around the South of Argentina. Around March our path took us to Mendoza where we stayed for a while in the house of a friend, but all along I felt like something was missing from my life. One night I sat in front of my computer and started a search to see how much it would cost me to go from there to Bs.As. After a few days thinking about it, I talked it over with my mom and decided that going back there would be the best for me in the long run. When I arrived there I felt lost and sad, because I had changed so much in the time I was away from the city life. I was able to stay with my sister and even when I was extremely happy with her for letting me stay at her place I still felt out of sorts. I spent a month feeling like a ghost of my true self. Being back made me feel younger than I'm in a weird way, I felt like a little girl needing the guidance and love of her family, a s...

Not all dreams are made of Gold

  For a long time I had dreamt of going to England and other near places and believed that it would be the place for me and I when the time came for me to go I realized that it wasn't everything I had imagened. I had the experience that I needed to have but not the one I wanted. I couldn't connect with the weather, the food and most of the places I visited, not because they where bad but cause they where different to what I wanted.  I traveled there not to find myself but to escape from things of my every day life, believing that in doing so I would be happier, but my issues came with me and by the time I realised of that I was missing home like crazy and in top of my old issues I had new ones.  It took me a lot of time to talk about that experience without bitterness and regret, but now that some years have passed looking back I'm so happy that I went foward with that and took it.  -Tate-

My first big adventure alone

Image
  Before I turned 20 I made the decision of celebrating my birthday on my own. It took a lot of courage, but eventually I choosed a place and to this day is the best decision I have taken.  I decided to take a tour in Germany and I felt in love with almost everything I saw, the memories I made and the things I lernt that shape me to the person I'm to this day.  Before I went I was so scared of doing such a big jump and especially alone, but with time I knew I couldn't wait around for anyone and if I didn't do it while I could I would regret it.  -Tate-

Not Lost but Wandering

Image
  Somedays no matter how much I do or try I found myself wandering without a path. I wake up and go about my day without doing anything that has meaning and in a way that makes me feel lost.  Somedays I think about walking in to a forest and let myself get lost in order to be found.  In the days I found I feel like this I don't know who to talk with cause it feels like everyone around me has everything figured out.  -Tate-

To all the people that are no longer in my life

  I wish I had told you sooner how much you meant to me, how hearing your voice made my days better. Sometimes I wonder if you would still be here if I had told you more about me instead of putting more walls up. Did I ever tell you how my life was brighter with you in it? I doubt it, cause if I had you would still be here, wouldn't you? Did I ever really talk with you about my nigthmeres or like everything else I do I brush them away and made you believe everything was fine? I honestly can't for the life of me remember.  I still remember how at first you would hear everything that was happenning with my life, even if you where busy but one day you stopped. Why did you? There are many things I wish I had asked you sooner, cause I know that no matter how much I wonder I won't get my answers now.  Sometimes I go about my day like everything is the same and when something happens I would think about calling or texting you to talk about it, but then I would remember that we a...
