This week has been a crazy experience. I traveled to Florida with seven other friends for spring break and all I have to say is that it was amazing!

For those who don’t know me, I am a rule-follower, a reserved and stay-at-home person. But being in a different state, seeing new places, and meeting new people has opened me up to do things that I usually don’t do. There are times where you just feel so comfortable with yourself that when you do something that is not you, it could give you a sense of a rush and become this version of yourself you didn’t know you had within you. Now, I’m not saying to do something illegal, but to just reach out of your circle and let yourself live a little. Life is so short and you only have one life on this planet so why not make the best out of it.

As soon as we got to Florida we went to this nightclub. It wasn’t my type of scenery at first until I just let myself loose and vibe with the songs, having a good time with my friends. With that little step, I got to meet new people (I mean who would’ve thought you could network even at clubs) This was also new to me because I don’t usually stay in contact with people I rarely know, I don’t know if it was the ambient of Miami, but I just stopped worrying and overthinking and just went with the flow since no one knew me and I would be only staying there for a few days.

If you are like me who also don’t like doing certain things because of fear, or what others will think of you don’t let this stop you, you are a unique and wonderful person, and your personality is what makes you the person you are- if you want to do something then go ahead and do it! However also, make sure you try new things along with being more open to new adventures, it will teach you a lot. I know it’s hard and maybe staying at a different place will be that extra push for you like it was for me. Just remember that stepping out of your comfort zone doesn’t have to be a bad thing. Look at it this way, the chances you didn’t take were where the adventures and joy laid. It will give you this glow and confidence boost of achieving and doing anything you set your mind to.
