Transitioning...

The process of transitioning to a new life is a difficult one. The idea that we get simple satisfaction out of change, in environment, in people and in life... is what keeps us going. Transitioning when there is no one to help the process, is the most challenging. At times, its only you who can make the process easy.
My transition from So Cal to New York has been a rollercoaster. Of course, New York has been my dream and aspiration for years to come, but one never realizes the impact of accomplishing your dreams until the day has arrived. I am loving the city, the people watching and the new friends I have made. I truly feel this transition has created a stronger, more independent woman in me, but sometimes I cannot help but weaken up and hope for a faster adaptation of my new life.
Music has been my BFF in NYC. Knowing music can save me during any difficult time provides me with some comfort- comfort with its lyrics and beats, beats that keep me dancing in my apartment, in the streets and in dance classes.
I'm so thankful for this opportunity, as everyone should go through a transition in their life- a transition by themselves; one that allows for growth and independence. I am proud of myself and my roommate for leaving our entire lives back in California, a polar opposite of NYC, and developing stronger individuals within ourselves.
