Por Mi Sangre...: August 2010

So, I have officially been in Mexico for one month now. Wow, that was fast. I've been meaning to write something for a bit... my see ya later message to SF and those that I love, like a review of my the last summer, but i just haven't been able to bring myself to actually do it. I dunno... it was like by doing that, I was actually doing this- moving to another country, away from all that I know and love. Just too hard with everything I walked away from. I feel secure enough now, or maybe I just need some closure. Either way...

I must say, this move was A LOT harder than I thought it would be. Not in the "things" realm (ie- apartment, dance, work, etc...), all of that has been almost too smooth. But, in the heartache/homesick part of things. Seriously, I had no idea I was so attached to my life in SF... I guess its one of those "the grass is always greener" kinda things.

This past summer was probably one of the best SF summers I've ever had. I think I was finally living the life I always wanted to live in SF- lots of dancing, performances, biking, living in the mission, world cup, lots of awesome neighborhood friends.... I was right in the middle of everything, as I always wanted to be. It was really hard to say good bye. Its amazing how different life was once I finally got out of the richmond. Not to say that part of town doesn't have it's perks. It does, otherwise I wouldn't have been out there for so long. But... it was never really my comfort zone. Maybe its the San Jo in me... I mean, San Jo and the Mission are like really close cousins. Or fraternal twins. Yeah. Anyway, it was an amazing summer with amazing people. it makes me wander how different my life would have been had I moved there sooner. Would I have made this move...? Probably, but I think I would have hesitated a bit more. What ifs aside, I'm so glad that this summer happened, even with all its stupid moments and heartbreaks. It gives me much more to look forward to coming home to.

some of my favorite moments....
