PV + WAYFARERS CHAPEL


When my spirit feels defeated or overwhelmed with the circumstances surrounding me, I find refuge in places like this. I find clarity when I'm strolling through nature. I find strength when I'm meditating in a place that rejuvenates my soul. Looking back to everything I've been through academically, I can't stop but be grateful. I'm thankful for the lessons, the experiences, and especially the friendships that were formed. I admit, I used to be afraid. Afraid to go out of my comfort zone in the fear of falling. But there's something in this specific milestone in my life that has truly ignited a side of me that was desperately trying to reveal itself. For the first time in a long time, I truly believe in myself and all that I'm capable of. And you know what? I'm not afraid anymore. In fact, I've been checking off my bucket list one experience at a time on my own. As much as I love making memories with my dearest friends, I love making memories on my own even more. So cheers to self discovery and self love.

With Love,
Jocelind

SUNSET CLIFFS


This specific trip down to San Diego is one of my memorable experiences of 2017 thus far. Not only was I able to support my best friend for her last year in PCC, but I was able to spend it with a handful of our dearest friends too. This three day trip consisted of watching my best friend's performance in UCSD, enjoying the view at Sunset Cliffs, and every miscellaneous thing in between.

This was my first time stepping foot at this peaceful scenery and the first time that I knew I had to follow my gut instinct. When there are serious decisions I need to make, I normally wait and give chances to be sure that this is a choice I need to take. It was in this moment that I knew I couldn't prolong this lingering feeling and to take action for it. Some people may not understand why I made the choice that I did or they may construed the whole scenario, but I know this was a risk I'm willing to take. I knew this was the right thing to do if I wanted to my dreams to align with the life I wanted to live. If there's one advice I can give it's that we need to take that leap of faith and be brave enough to chase our own dreams instead of following the expectations others have for us. It may be an arduous start, but it will be rewarding After all, there is nothing better than to finally be your true and authentic self.

Thank you for stopping by. Until next time!
With Love,

THE GETTY + MALIBU


Living in Southern California for practically all of my life you'd expect that I've done all the touristy things, but I haven't. This would be my first time admiring the art works displayed at The Getty Museum and relaxing to the sunset on Malibu Beach. Each experience was beautiful on their own.

In The Getty, I was enamored by the Renaissance paintings and sketches, but especially the Greek mythology sculptures. If there's one thing that I'd regret, it's not capturing any art work. For future reference or for those who are looking forward to visiting this place, I'd definitely recommend to take as much pictures as your heart desires. It's nice to look back on these moments through visual representations, so I'd wish I had more snippets of this day. But never the less, I always have my memory to rely on. When pictures fail to express my experience, my feelings will guide me. Being there with you made brought out the child like curiosity within me. I not only explored what the museum had to offer, but who we both are. Taking my final steps off the tram was not only exhausting, but I left feeling inspired.

Immediately afterwards, we headed to Malibu Beach to unwind from the busy morning. From light-hearted conversations to conversations with depth filled the time spent here. Every opportunity that allowed me to know more of who you are, left an imprinting admiration for you. To end the day feeling more than two strangers and to cherish this bond while overlooking the sunset couldn't get any better than that.

Thank you for experiencing this adventure with me. Until next time!

With Love,
Jocelind
