Week 9: 071316–071916

Dublin to Amsterdam.

Traveling to see friends in Europe was a wonderful experience. Seeing one of your best friends in another country is so special. It was nice to be in an unfamiliar place with familiar people.

Having a friendship with a family member is also another wonderful experience. Amsterdam was beautiful, and the best thing about moments like the ones I made with my cousin is that one day I can tell my children I traveled with their aunt.

I wish that I did not lag so long between dates so that I could have properly captured a moment. It is hard to be consistent with writing and how I am learning what it actually means to maintain a blog. It is also hard to learn what I am supposed to be doing with this blog, whether it is purely personal or if I would someday like it to be viewed as a “project” of mine — something I hope to share with others and want a critical reaction, some review, and eventually, some growth.
