Good Morning Ayanna!

Reading your posts remind me of my "younger self", in my 20s, when I still had that last bit of belief in magic and an ability to see the beauty of life before life itself ground that side of me into dust. It's always nice to be reminded of a different side of life.

Regarding Synchronicities, it's interesting because the only synchronicity I've noticed recently is when I check this app every few weeks, I notice that usually you have just posted so I read your post and it helps in different ways.

I love your journal prompts as well. I could definitely write about the prompts, but at the same time it makes me realize the certain parts of myself and my writing practice which are currently blocked for any number of reasons.

Anyways just thought I'd drop by and say hello, that does sound like a fantastic solo trip. Heart break always have a motivating effect, I know that from my first heart break in my early 20s. The tacos and the potted plants really caught my attention, two of my favorite things in the world. One thing about being Hispanic and the Spanish culture is our food, with love being a key ingredient.

Hi Joaquin!! Ahhh, I hate that you've lost the belief in magic! I think it's my goal to always remind others that it's still there, and so I'm glad that you have been inspired by that. And wow, that's definitely a synchronicity since I post only once a month or so! Love to hear that. I hope that the journaling prompts help you go deeper and maybe unblock you in your writing.

As always, thank you for your support and reading! Love is DEFINITELY a key ingredient in the food, I felt so much warmth from Mexico and can't wait to go back. :)

I love what we are witnessing. You deserve all of this and I am glad that you're leaning into this new chapter with deepening love for yourself. These travel diaries are so full of little magical moments, you just slide them in there but everything is perfect and exactly as it should be for you, praying that emboldens you daily. Congrats on your growth, congrats on your booked trip (cannot wait for the Peru chronicles, I've already told you!!!), congrats on the healing powers of Mexican food too, it really does something to the spirit!? Sorry about the little airport thing, idk what it is about the CDMX airport, (I wanna say especially terminal 1) I always have a little moment and have to gather myself looool. No other airport rivals this one for annoying/unnecessary stressful moments. Anyway, glad the rest of Mexican land was good for you xx
