Here’s to re-discovering the things that once brought us joy, letting go of those that do not (haven't we learned that time is so finite), and embracing this new chapter with gratitude.

 I thought I’d open up to you all a little bit more about what my work days are like at HQ. Over on Instagram, I mentioned that I just completed my first product launch at VidCon. A lot of you then messaged asking me what it means to launch a product and what it’s like working at YouTube. So I figured I'd take some time to do just that.

The truth is I’ve started this blog post many times over. I have so many thoughts and follow ups after my last post, but I simultaneously don’t know what to write. So after quite a few drafts, I’ve decided I’m just going to make a list of some of the things that have been running through my mind as of late. A quick check in if you may. Okay? Okay!

Several pro’s & con’s lists, some restless nights, and loads of soul thinking later- it has all come to an end [thank god!]

I could go on and on about my endless list of interests, so I’ll end here. And while I don’t know what any of these careers would look like, what I do know is that I have loads of interests and I hope to pursue them in some shape or form.

At these events not only did I get to hear from incredible speakers but more over I got to meet my internet friends IRL. Yes, internet friends-in this case, a group of bad-ass women who I’ve been following on Instagram since I moved to the Bay.

I’m so delighted that I crossed paths with Emily and Nikki. I hope our paths cross again someday- perhaps Nikki and I can go catch a live show of Emily’s sometime. I’d love that. I really would.

No matter what, I’ll always feel grateful for where I am-how could I not be? But to be clear-I’m still very much figuring it all out.

It felt familiar. It felt like on that rainy afternoon, in Jane, in San Francisco, we carved out a safe [warm] space.

you simply cannot be what you cannot see

So, I’ll continue to write my dreams and work towards them. And who knows, maybe someday, I’ll be writing another post, still in SF, long past the end of this rotation.

Ah, the first of the month.

There was just something so special about the early morning serenity paired with the vibrance of the art that I had to stop and try to capture it.

I’ve only got two more days left here in paradise [insert sad face here]. I plan to soak up every last minute and enjoy, as my newfound Costa Rican friends say, la pura vida.

...I finally achieved my all white outfit. 1 year in the making, but hey, better late than never right?

That’s the thing about cities-they wait on no one. New York is always about the new up-and-coming thing.

New York is always in flux.
