okay this is a good one but when i recorded this, less than a month in to moving to Charleston i was like hmmmm why did i move here so perfect timing! also good to reflect and trust myself that there was a reason to moving here. i do love it here but i miss my parents, my brother and my GIRLS scattered across the country and everywhere but Charleston but friends will come. in time.

someone asked me this and i thought it was interesting, like they thought i found peace? okay maybe but then i started talking about finding peace and i was like finding peace as a whole is a hard thing to do but i mean i more think i have found peace in the little things, how clichè to say but finding peace in a sow morning, finding peace in a good bagel, finding peace in chatting with a friend/ being heard and understood. PEACE.good habits was a hard one for me. i wasnt going to publish this but i think it shows the normal struggle of reflecting on what 1. brings you peace and 2. what are good habaits?

i recorded this April 1, a couple days prior to my move out of charleston and never uploaded, why? i don't know but as i am back to charleston mid june, living here, i needed to hear this reminder of why i moved to charleston.

i also recorded this a couple months ago. but this is still extremely relevant and another great reminder. the low moments i am experiencing right now...ill look back at these and agree they were lows in the moment but i will look back and be like my girl all is well. & hey, i got through it, strived to tell the story and will continue to build those experiences. will it get easier? maybe?

here i go again. moving to a new city, even though i was here for 2 months 3 months ago...i still have to re-do and jump back into the things i love here. the things that bring me peace? the gym, coffee shops, the beach, hanging with my friends but also giving myself time and grace to settle, to nest into my new apartment, have days and nights where i have no plans and embrace that. but all i have to do is talk to myself to remind myself. slow down and give yourself a moment to listen to your thoughts cause they are there.

this is crazy, i do agree and understand but feel like it needed it to be shared because i know im not the only one over here. it has now passed and is the only reason i am sharing this after the fact.

things ive learned when moving to a city, what do to, how to find friends, how to find your third space and find that community you are yearning for.

to talk to strangers like they are your friends. i highly recommend making life more fun.

initial thoughts, a little unsettling, a little bit overwhelmed but overall feeling excited.
