In the days preceding my return to Mexico, I found I was starting to feel kind of sad that my summer home was coming to an end. In order to avoid the self-pity, sadness, etc. I started thinking of all the things I love and that make me happy. I found this to be extremely therapeutic. There is no specific order in which I placed these things, they just all make me happy. 
It's been a great summer. I have loved being home. I have a lot of mixed feelings, but I am ready to conquer this semester with my family. I am happy I was able to stay at my mom's this summer. I am happy I was able to spend time with family and friends. I am lucky. 


Guadalajara or bust...
