Now that I am back from my holidays (yes it was very long) and not really working at the present, I will try to be more diligent and persistant about keeping a blog. During my holidays, I had a lot of time to reflect on life and my plans for the future. I have decided to scratch out my initial plans of going to Paris. I realized, I'm not sure if this is good or bad, but I miss the student life. I love living with my parents and not have to worry about the daily frustrations of working, studying and paying bills, but I also enjoyed that part of my life. The one thing if I take any from my experiences living in Costa Rica, is the well-known phrase pura vida. The phrase plainly translates as "pure life," but the locals use it in almost everyday life whether it be as a form of greeting to just explaining that's how things are. It's become my new mantra to remind me to enjoy life and what it has to offer at the present. Not to mention to try and not take even the small things for granted. I am trying to do that. Slowly. But I never expected it to be immediate.
I still want to achieve a few of the goals I made for myself during my "Paris phase." That includes me already signing up for Pilates classes. My first one was on Tuesday and surprisingly it wasn't too bad for someone who only does Pilates irregularly at home via Youtube videos. The Pilates instructor even noted my gracefulness and asked if I used to be a dancer. Ha! Also with that, I have decided to stop weighing myself, at least for the rest of the month. I have become too obsessed with numbers and worrying "oh no, I'm 2 kg more today. WTF?!" Well, no more of that!
Here's to a good start, yes. Cheers!
