Mornings at Grandma's house are quiet, but in a delicious way. The sun shines through the windows and a soft breeze caresses your skin. I am home. Of course it gets hot once in a while, but that's nothing a fan can't fix. I love it when the house is dead quiet, and suddenly, it begins to take life. The fan is running, coffee pot ready to go, a silent prayer and then t.v.; moments, people. Moments.
Adventure level today: medium. Hoping to enjoy this day and everything that comes with it. And you should too! Have a great day, Guys!

Caribbean Breeze
There's always something calming and soothing about the Caribbean; something enchanting. I have always loved this place, but somehow being a technical "grownup" makes it even better.
Over the years I have truly learned to love my country, my people; I have learned to value and cherish them. People always say to not take things for granted, and it's true- one shouldn't, but a lot of times we do because we feel that we can have them whenever we want.
Upon arrival I was kind of numb, completely unfazed by the fact that I had arrived. I was here. To be honest, the feeling is almost still the same. I have greeted family members, held conversations, and shared each other's company, and yet, I feel as though I'm not completely here.
A lot of things have changed in the last few years, and I'm aware of that. But sometimes you want to live each and every moment and second you have to the highest capacity, that once you get that chance, you don't know what to do first. But One thing's for sure, I want to leave with memories and inspiration.
After settling down and being able to take a seat and just feel the summertime breeze, I have done a lot of thinking, and although I really don't know what the week will bring, I must keep this positive spirit, vibe, aura, whatever you want to call it. After all, I am in vacation paradise and have so much to be thankful for.
Let's see what the week brings in.
So excited!

Brownies a La Mode
Spring Break. I know I'm out of school and a legal grownup, but I can have fun too. I'm back to one job now, so i figured I would spend some time with my sis. Yesterday we went to the movies, today we're having brunch. Who knows what else we might do; so many possibilities!!
Waiting for the food, I notice two things: old people and stay at home moms with their babies. Okay. Good for them. But I doubt I'll be part of a group of moms who have kids in the same age group, go out in sweats and a bun, talk about diapers and which ones are better. I just can't imagine it. And old people? Canes and slow walking. I feel pity. This can't be me!
On the other hand, it got me thinking, what in the world am I doing with my life? And the answer to that is nothing! I'm breathing and that's it. Nothing interesting, nothing to look forward to. Is that really a life? A friend of mine was sharing with me the plans she has for the upcoming future, and they sounded ambitious. At least in comparison to mine. So here I am trying to find some kind of ambiguity in me, something so I can start being happy with myself and go somewhere. Of course, there's always those annoying thoughts in the back of my mind, that some family of mine is going places their studying for accounting and tourism. They have great careers ahead of them, and I am here like, "Hi, welcome to Bath and Body Works!" Don't get me wrong, I love my job! But I don't expect to be working retail all of my life. I wanna go places, and so far, I haven't found my niche.
Some people have and will tell me that this is it. This is life. But to me, this looks nothing short of a vicious cycle of working and paying bills. I don't know what I'm going to do or when I will do t. But whenever I do, it will be awesome!
So back to reality, a large group of toddler moms has left, and peace is restored! Now, if only my food would get here, that would be great! We're starving!
Tomorrow, a stop to Chicago will be next on our Spring Break trip! Can't wait! It's always good to chill with friends.
Ary ❤️
