"is this what you meant? Is this what you dreamed of?"

Quiero practicar mi español más ahora que estoy en los Estados que lo hice cuando estaba en Chile. A veces, hablo a yo misma en Castellano. lol, o a mi mamá que me diga siempre, "Qué dijiste?" Pobrecita! I miss Tía Magda's family and my Chilean friends, most of whom I haven't heard from lately... There was recent drama between a couple of them

You and I are definitely kindred spirits in this respect:)

I also identify with that line above and actually I've been thinking something along the same lines. I just wrote about it in my journal... touched on it rather than elaborating and it's interesting to see it here in your journal but expressed differently. I think the major difference is that you have chosen to go after what you want, and take those chances and do the things neccessary to go where you want to go and do what you want to do. While, I exist in one space until I'm forced to move on usually because I've sabatoged myself in some way and can't continue settling in the same spot. So, I'm always taking a few steps back before moving forward at all.

Half of the struggle is actually being cognizant of it... for a long time I don't think I could really identify the reasons behind what I was feeling. You definitely recognize why you feel stuck and really, I think that is half the battle. You're getting there sweetie, it's just a matter of no longer allowing yourself to do continue with those self-sabotaging behaviors
