My knee is finally better and I am running again. I’m only running up to three miles though. Today only 2. I did intervals for a mile. From my building to this spot - stopped rested and jogged back. I missed running. And I love this view.

"Travel changes you. As you move through this life and this world you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life - and travel - leaves marks on you. Most of the time, those marks - on your body or on your heart - are beautiful. Often, though, they hurt."

"Go be that starving Artist you’re afraid to be. Open up that journal and get poetic finally. Volunteer. Suck it up and travel. You were not born here to work and pay taxes. You were put here to be part of a vast organism to explore and create. Stop putting it off. The world has much more to offer than what’s on 15 televisions at TGI Fridays. Take pictures. Scare people. Shake up the scene. Be the change you want to see in the world. You’ll thank yourself for it."

I found a women’s rugby team.  Seriously thinking of playing or at least going to practices.

I went out into the suburbs yesterday - hm… I decided it is Chicago or California for me.  If I’m going to live in a quiet place with nothing around, I would like there to be a beach.  or a farm.  a farm close to a beach.

I don’t like this. I think I am a very smart girl. And being smart has taught me to live. Getting hurt is inevitable but if you avoid it you can also avoid some of life’s greatest adventures. I trust people because I believe in good. I have seen bad but I have also seen amazing love and kindness. I am not insecure. Insecurity is not an admirable or attractive quality. I know my worth which is why there is no need for insecurity. I don’t need to avoid situations or people because I am wise enough to know when to walk away.

(Near Belmont Harbor, Chicago, IL) I am slowly finding a routine here in Chicago. There are days, more like moments, when all I want to do is go home. It’s hard not knowing anyone on a super personal level in your city. But I have met people. Not the closest of friends but they are also away (really far away- Spain far away) from home. So they understand the weird transition and it’s nice to just sit and talk. My fall back routine that makes me feel at home (besides mass) is running. I conveniently can basically cross the street and be in Lincoln Park and then Lakefront Trail. In one week Alfred will be here - all the way from Barcelona! And a week after he leaves Nicole will be here - all the way from Orange County!

"What has become clear is that fashion is to many women what sport is to many men: a pastime, a passion, a shared language, a form of self-definition, and a temporary escape from the opposite sex, all rolled into one deeply satisfying whole."
