Week 10: 072016–072616

Amsterdam’s vibe was the best, and I think it was because I had the ability to do whatever I want. I confidently led my cousin around for four days and I find that a personal accomplishment (it’s hard to navigate a new city and be safe and have a good time, ok?). I guess what I have to say is: that I was able to have fun and not feel bad for it. I am still figuring out how aware I am of feeling guilty for things.

Berlin did not greet me the way I expected. Maybe it was the 2 weeks of traveling beforehand, and the anticipation to settle down in a place was itching away at me. I needed to have a grip on things and the one place where I was supposed to be living in for a month hit me with a bunch of loops. Fortunately, this trip is teaching me to trust myself and appreciate with what I do with my time.
