Here is a small thought about life lessons taught through places.

Home for the Holidays

But being cautious like that has made me miserable. You cannot always think the worst.

I live life on my terms, and I think this week made me feel so much better about opening my heart.

Complicated Culture

This week was extremely stressful. I felt caged, and it was hard not to let everything set me off. So even though I know certain things about my culture, I didn’t let some things slide as I would have in the past.
