But on the other hand, I'm super stoked to see what lies ahead of me! Life always throws you so many opportunities, but it's up to your heart to let you decide at the end of the day and I've always lived strongly by that motto. Might be kinda cliché but I guess what I wanna say is..don't be afraid to take a chance in whatever it may be! Great things always come when you least expect it👍🏻 Sorry it's been a long day moving and I'm finally winding down by writing down my thoughts in this post hehe phew💦 Anyways…wish me luck in my new adventures in New York!
