Well today is a quick break from the weekly diaries. A very close friend of mine asked me what had gotten me to love fish-keeping. 

In case anyone was curious, here it is. Maybe you can find something in here that you can relate to?

Lots of love,

Lily

Hey everyone! I don't know if you noticed, but the music in the background was not my normal coffee-shop music. Instead, this amazing music was done by the one and only Carlos. He is one of my classmates, an amazing musician, and one of the most phenomenal people I have had the pleasure of meeting. Here is a link to more of his music!

A little bit of overlap between episodes but hey, it was an important event in my life. 

This episode wraps up the teasers for this podcast. I can't wait to see you all next Sunday! 

In the mean time, feel free to follow @learning.the.lingo on instagram for updates, pictures, and other fun things.

People are complicated, relationships of any kind even more so.

Who do you value in your life? Who is important, and what traits do these people have? So many questions and it seems like time is always running away from us...

This is the format I imagine for this podcast. I just want to share what's happening in my life, how I see things, and how and what I value. 

Hopefully something I say in these episodes strikes a chord with you!

Hello everyone,

This is an introduction to what I hope will be a great podcast. I want to share the beautiful little miracles in this crazy thing we call life, because wow do we need it. This year especially has been full of disasters and failures, but it's not all hopeless. For those struggling to make sense of the world, of themselves. I see you, and this is for you.

By laying bare my emotions and my life, I hope to show that it's okay to be vulnerable and open. And that no matter what you're facing, you aren't alone. 

Taking a bit to reevaluate what I want this to become. We will be back soon!
