So I guess every person who decides to study abroad has this moment but I finally reached mine: I live in Italy. It seems like such an easy concept yet it is somehow extremely difficult for your mind to comprehend. I have been here for a little over 2 weeks and yet somehow it feels like i've been walking these streets for so much longer (most likely because I am constantly getting lost, but that is the beauty of discovering a new city). Florence, thus far, is incredible. I could never possibly compare it to any other city. It has a beat of its own. Everyday I am walking through history and feel this rush and desire to know more. I feel like i've seen so much but really... i've barely scratched the surface.
To say I made the right decision to take this year of my life and move to another country would be an understatement of epic proportions. As I was doing a reflection of what I want from my year abroad I realized that what I want more than anything is infinite possibilities. I'm actually thrilled at the idea that anything could happen. I dream to feel like not only am I walking through history, i'm making it. I want so badly for my photos and writings to inspire others to take the leap of faith I did. Fall in love with Italia. I want to embrace this moment and never let it go.
