Summer Summer Summer -- I'M BACK

Hey guys it's been a while! Summer has passed me by in a flash and I'm disappointed in myself for not writing to you guys. This blog is something I'm really passionate about and wish to continue to the best of my abilities. I guess what I'm trying to say is I have to make time for writing, it has to be a routine. There is so much that went on in summer and I've grown as a person, no not in height sadly but maturity wise. I've learned more about myself and what I am capable of. We all are capable of more than we know but if you are like me you put it at the back of your mind. When I hear my mom say, "Adhya you are capable of so much" I ignore it just thinking it's my mom just saying nice things, which is rare. NO I'M TOTALLY JOKING MY MOM IS THE SWEETEST :))). Anyway what I'm saying is once you learn more about yourself you start to understand what you truly are capable of. I never thought I could adjust so well to a new environment when I went to JHU. I never knew I could take care of myself like that and face my responsibilities. I went to the library and actually studied and I felt good about myself. There is so much that we can do and it's time we actually accepted that. I learned that if I actually put my mind to something I can do it and be good at it. It's hard to realize that without a little shove from people but with good people they will literally push you until you do realize it by yourself. They will always support you and back you and that is so important. It's important to surround yourself with such people. I met this amazing group of friends at JHU and they taught me how once you find the right people, you'll have them forever. I want to thank them because they showed me that I can be loved for my loud personality and constant littiness. LOL that's not a word but you get what I mean. As you can see I did a lot this summer, OMG before I forget I went to Spain. I also learned that I can speak better Spanish than I thought. I spoke almost every day and it was awesome because I got exposure to this beautiful culture. I love the latin culture because gosh they know how to enjoy life and have fun. I want to go back and stay for a longer time because there is so much more to experience. There is so much to life to experience, I don't think you can ever stop experiencing new things. This summer I've collected so many memories and I hope to take those with me and use them to make myself a better person. I promise to write more and I won't break it. Hope you guys have a fabulous day.

P.S
shoutout to my JHU friends because I love them and they are probably some of the most amazing ambitious people I've met. I am so fortunate to have found such amazing people and within the two weeks of knowing each other they are people I don't want to lose. So hope you guys are doing well and I miss you guys :) 

Find your Neverland :)

As you step into the sun, you feel the change from cold to warm

like you are in bed with a cozy blanket.

You stand there, basking in the glorious sunlight and close your eyes

only for a moment.

All of a sudden you hear a smoothe jazz song, almost like Miles Davis

is performing in front of you.

It’s a simple song but couldn’t be more full of life.

As you drift to the song you can’t help but smell the fresh coffee.

Your senses are overwhelmed by the noise, smell, and feel of the sun

but you are at peace.

You find your escape in warmth of the sun, sound of jazz, and smell of

fresh coffee.

All that is bad disappears when you open your eyes to a new world.

A world filled with people who support you, people who love you, and

most important of all people who listen to you.

The world is not what it was and in that moment you realize it was your choice.

Hey guys, I know I haven’t written in a while and it’s because I forgot how freeing it was to write. I almost forgot how much I enjoyed it. For a while now, I’ve been incredibly stressed with school and trying to keep my grades up but also do well in sports. This poem is one that is very personal because these are all the things that I find my escape in. The sweet sound of Miles Davis and other Jazz musicians and the smell of coffee all wrapped up with the warmth of the sun. I chose to put stress on myself and I realized that writing and expressing my thoughts were my escape to all the bundled up stress. I chose to keep it bundled up and not let it go and now that I have I cannot tell you the amount of weight that has been lifted off my shoulders, that is of course metaphorically. Now what’s the point to all of this? Good question, because I don’t know….. JUST KIDDING. The point is to make sure that you find your escape to all your bundled up feelings. They shouldn’t be something that you ignore because eventually they will all catch up to you and that feeling is heart wrenching. Through whatever you can make sure you find your escape and keep it with you. You never know when you will need it. It’s your happy place and no one should ever destroy that, especially not you. Stay kind my loves and have a wonderful day. :)
