Sometimes I can’t tell if I think about travel because I genuinely enjoy it or because of escapism? Regardless, Prince Tea House transported me to tea time in another country. I love investing in experiences, and this is why it made so much sense for me to start a “life design” blog. How will I design the life I want to live?
Ideally in this present moment, I would be somewhere in Europe, alone, high vibrational music filling the air around me, Chanel bags sitting at my feet from my shopping trip of the day, on FaceTime with the love of my life telling him all about how the people here are so nice, love my hair, and always smile at me.
I’m clearly not mentally in NYC. I think I’ve lived here for too long and severely need to be somewhere else for an extended amount of time. I think I understand now why I go to certain restaurants and why aesthetics are important to me for experiences. I need to feel transported. Honestly, I’m grateful to have grown up and live somewhere that can feel like somewhere different when you cross a block or turn a corner.
I just feel so disconnected from here. Has anyone else had this experience? The NYC I’m living now is so different from the one I grew in and it’s weird because it’s somewhere different but it’s physcially the same.
I planned a trip to go somewhere at the end of the month, which I was iffy about. I never traveled alone before, but I always wanted to. Realistically, if I actually want to achieve my “resolutions” this year, I have to be intentional and actually about it. So, I booked it.
I think I understand manifestation now. Believing is visualizing and for me to visualize, I need to act it out. I feel like we all deserve to live the lives that we imagine for ourselves. I am committed to finding a way to make that possible in real time, and then maybe baby step my way up to the Amalfi Coast and Southern France. The energy that I want is the energy that I have now. Grounded, luxurious, and worldly. I think it was wearing this pearl necklace from MyPerlitas that completely changed my energy. I felt goddess like, elevated, and so beautifully delicate.
The top thing I am manifesting this year is travel. I want to see more, experience more, feel more, and invest in my energy through movement and exchange. I think last year, I was so used to planning for two or planning for group travels that I forgot that I could just pack my shit and go alone. Going to Dominican Republic to see my family reminded me of that. It technically wasn’t solo because I went to be with my family, but I went alone from the U.S. and didn’t wait for my mom to take the initiative to plan that trip. I hadn’t seen my family in over 10 years, and I don’t want to be any father from the concept of family than I am now. That’s “resolution” two: family. I think I may fly to Dominican Republic right after my solo trip.
Manifesting the life that you want means making an effort to live it already, and that’s what I failed to understand until now. If I want to manifest a life of travel, I need to book flights. If I want to manifest a solid gym body, I need to go to the gym. Manifesting a healthy body means treating it with healthy habits. Hello? Are you dumb, my girl?
From now on, I live the life that I want for future me. Present me and future me are the same person. The only thing in between us is time and a few action items.
