The 100th post!

I was looking at my past posts, and realized that this is in fact the 100th one! Can't believe I made it this far... it almost coincides with my blog's 1st birthday, but by now last year I was already in Barcelona so I'm a little late in my anniversary.

Today has been a somewhat big day - Adam graduated (UT is over man), it's my mom's nameday and the first day of summer. Although it feels like this has already been a jam-packed summer what with my trip and all the patios and going away parties already...

In retrospect, the amount of personal change that I have gone through in the past year is incredible. I have graduated, gone on one big trip to Europe mostly by myself, started a new job, had several different 'relationships', lost the friendship of one of my best friends and reconciled with another. All this, and trying to manage living at home and dealing with the new dynamic with my parents, and trying to find out exactly what it is I want from life (I am after all nearly a quarter of a century old). The icing on the cake at this one year mark has been the trip that I just returned from, after which I'm sure is evident that I have yet to recover.

The whole year has actually been somewhat routine, with spurts of big changes that happen over a few weeks. I feel like this is one of those phases full of milestones, and that it will be a time of being in limbo until something gives. I've learned that the minute you think you have things figured out and get some confidence, life has a way of humbling you. After all, since my trip last year I felt very in control and decided about what my priorities were, and within 1 week it has all changed.

I'm excited to see where I'll be another year from now, or even a few months from now! It's all very fun (and terrifying and stressful and nerve-wracking hahaha) to know that anything can happen, and that 6 months from now I could be in a completely different environment. Cheers to new beginnings, to change and to keeping up blogs to remember how much I've forgotten.
