This is more of a reminder to myself. Lately, I have been very stressed.

Today I have to go to the city, Medellin. Which sounds exciting, until the logistics come into play. Transportation, booking a hostel, getting to the hostel.

Socializing with others! This is always tough for me, I am introverted and shy by nature. Yet, I want to socialize, I just feel so awkward.

I am also always the oldest one there!! Yet, hostels are just more convenient.

I have to go to immigration to pick up my resident card here in Colombia. There is a 50% chance it will not be ready! The immigration website is malfunctioning and it is just making my head spin.

So yesterday, while deeply stressed, anxious, and feeling overwhelmed. I took the dog for a walk.

I sat by the river and listened to the sounds of silence, birds, running water, and snuggled with my pup.
