That’s it. Like the blink of an eye, like it never happened, I was no longer in Brazil. Sitting on my parent’s couch in Columbia, South Carolina, I couldn’t help feel that time moves by faster than we can truly understand it.

I leave for New York City next week, where I will start by finding an apartment and a job. I am incredibly excited to see what this next chapter of life opens up for me. I will never forget the experiences I have had, getting to see and experience the world around me. I am incredibly grateful for loving family and friends, who never left my side and were supportive of my life decisions.

Thank you for everyone who has touched my life in someway. My heart is full and at peace knowing that we are capable of loving each other more than we can ever love ourselves. Keep understanding intent and prioritizing happiness, as we all continue on this journey of life.

I don’t know how I will use this blog going forward. I love sharing my adventures and thoughts with those who choose to read them, but will need to take some time to get settled in a new rhythm of life in NYC.

Time will tell, as it always does, what will happen.
