Last night

Michelle, Heather, Tiffany! Thank you for the Vino in plastic cups and sitting on the floor of my empty apartamento talking about all the good times, I am going to miss you and SF and I am definitely coming back for a reunion! Cheers to all the great memories and future memories to be made. Good night and sweet dreams.................. Hasta pronto

Baker Beach

Went for my last run to Baker Beach this morning, I will miss the view from the golden gate and the permanent fixtures of half a dozen naked old men that seem to stay on the east side of the beach. The best memory that comes to mind is when one nude man ventured all the way across to where the houses overlook the water, what a brave soldier. I do believe that Baker Beach is one of the most picturesque beaches in the world in every sense of the word!

IS it enough?

When we are not fulfilled we complain and get depressed in life, but when we have a million things going on and tons of activities we seem to feel overwhelmed. When is it enough and how do we know when have actually obtained this happy medium? Maybe we are never really satisfied and that is why humans are constantly looking for other "temptations," challenges, outlets, because maybe we are never really content with just "being." All I know is that emotions are like the weather, for the most part seasonal, but have major waves of both good and bad that always unexpected and usually uninvited.

Weather

Raining, foggy, cold, not your typical July weather unless you are in SF that is...... SF you are making it easier for me to say goodbye that is for sure, I need sunlight!!!!!! Oh well, I do love you no matter what the weather. Mark Twain's quote holds true, "the coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco."

SF

Just wanted to say thank you to all my wonderful friends for coming out last night, I had a blast!! I blame the martinis if i said, did or acted drunk, haha!! My last week and year and half have been amazing and I owe it all to you...... Hope to see you in chile!!

Becoming a better person

As much as getting your heart broken seems unfair and cruel at the time, it seems that if you have never gotten your heart broken then you may have never really loved. Because it is hard to know how much you love somebody until it's gone. Sometimes we all need to be put into place and after having my heart ripped out I have noticed myself to be a kinder person with more empathy for those around me. I have no regrets about my past, present, or future and am going to continue to try and see the good in love, life, and above all strive to be happy! I am sure that I will make mistakes along the way, but the bottom line is that I love life and all that comes with it. I do not believe that there is only one person for everyone, I think that love and loss is a part of life and we must re-invent ourselves and embrace the inevitable change that will occur many more times in our lives!

One more

so, the american culture can be quite addictive at times, and we all need a little TLC, but sometimes we need to realize when enough is enough. Binge drinking is a big part of the USA and I am guilty of this participation of course, but why is it that we can never get enough?? Also guys and girls seem to have a different view on appropriate behavior, FYI: just because we are drunk does not mean that we will go home with you!! DEAL with it!! Off to bed, with sweet dreams and one more week of SF!! Yeah............

Passion

When we are busy we complain that there is not enough time to do the things that we want to do, but when we have more time, we will feel dissatisfied with the lack of success and passion in our lives. I feel truly lucky to have found a passion in life that presents both challenges and satisfaction. ESPANOL and Travel!! We will all have many relationships in our lives with family, friends, lovers, co-workers, but the most important relationship of all is the one that we have with ourself. This is why I feel lucky to have learned some valuable life lessons early and hope to care and treat myself a little more gingerly in life. My passions allow me to breath and concentrate on all that life has to offer, meditation can take all shapes and forms and my form of zen stems from new experiences, people, and learning about life. I hope to develop more passions, but for now me voy a viajar y apprender una nueva punta de vista!

I am leaving San Francisco

I have two weeks left in San Francisco and I feel sad that a part of my heart will always stay here, but I am so excited for my next adventure, and I am truly lucky to have loved and lived in SF for the time period that I did. On a lighter note, I can't help but laugh as I informed yet another innocent bystander today that I would be moving to Chile for a six-month long internship, and he said, "I am not from around here, where is that exactly, I am from arizona." I just smiled and said, "oh it is in south america." He shrugged and continued on his way. I have to say, I am going to really miss SF!!
