Miami/Orlando,Florida 9/5/21
It’s been over a month since I’ve been back from Florida but I’m ready to write about it. Honestly, I didn’t take many pictures. I wanted to enjoy my time while I was there and I was having too much fun to remember to take a picture. It was my first time on a plane and boy was it an experience. It was scary at first but I was lucky I had friends by my side. After the first time, it was so much easier and gave me time to catch up on my sleep. I had always heard stories about nightlife in Miami but experiencing it was unreal. I had so much fun and partied hard. Miami beach was beautiful and the people were so lively. I wanted to party every night. Miami has such a fun, lively energy, that I was smiling the whole time. After Miami, we visited Orlando. The first stop was the beach, which honestly wasn’t my favorite but it was a good experience. The nightlife in Orlando was nothing compared to Miami but atleast I tried to party a little. The entire time we were in Orlando, we enjoyed our time in Universal and the surrounding parks. I didn’t go to Disney but I still had alot of fun! The Islands of Adventures was my favorite. I loved all the rides and I even rode them twice (completely out of my comfort zone if you know me). It was awesome to see the Harry Potter worlds and experience the rides that were unlike any others that I’ve been on. I would definitely go back, especially with closer friends. I enjoyed some good food as well, really enjoyed Senor Frogs. Towards the end I was beginning to feel homesick but I tried to ignore it the best I could. We had trouble with our flights towards the end and it really made the trip end on a bad note but thinking back on it, it was still an amazing trip overall. I’m really glad that I stepped out of my comfort zone and just went for it. I can now mark Florida off my list and hopefully, I’ll travel once more before I get my promotion. Excited to see what I do next and where I go next and who I’ll meet!
7.6.21 Huntsville, Texas
Despite the knowledge of the rain that would cover the city, I made a last minute decision to explore Huntsville, in hopes that the odds would be in my favor. They were. I used the morning to get ahead of my chores and prepare for the day. I arrived in Huntsville around 12pm, my best friend and twin flame by my side, and the rain covered the streets. I did not let this discourage us but instead, went to the Texas Prison Museum.
I’ve always been intrigued by the prison system and all of the corruption- especially since I experienced it first hand as a child. The museum was interesting but not much of what I did not know already. It was just a reminder of how evil humanity can really be- and I’m referring to the prison, not the prisoners. I will never understand how one human can treat another so horribly or sentence them to death as if they are God. How can one claim to be pro-life but support the death penalty? I’ve come to learn that many are pro-life until the actually life is born- or maybe they were never pro-life to begin with and only simply wanted to have control of the woman’s body. How absurd. Texas is very corrupt in that way.
After the museum, we headed towards the Sam Houston National Forest for a quick hike. Naturally, we got lost but it only added to the adventure. The rain had paused at this moment, allowing me to explore to my heart’s content. The forest was beautiful and lively; yellow butterflies leading me down the entire path. Most of my adventures involve bodies of water or mountains so exploring a forest was definitely a change in scenery and I was not disappointed. The trees made me feel grounded and reminded me to stay strong like the red oak. Despite water being my main element of healing, it was refreshing to immerse myself in a different terrain and experience a form of healing unknown to me.
The forest reminded me why I loved to be friends with Earth signs (Capricorn and Taurus specifically). The double water sign within me can be chaotic and I tend to get lost in the waves of my emotions. But my Earth friends keep me grounded and bring me back to reality, reminding me of who I am and what I need to do to overcome. I like to thank my friends, Luke, Rachel, Daniela, and Carlos for those exact reasons. More importantly, my mother for being my complete soul match and keeping me from getting lost in my chaotic Scorp/Aries/Pisces mind.
After collecting a few branches and pine cones, we made the 30 minute drive to Blue Lagoon. The water and view was breathtaking as you can see in the pictures. The spot was mostly for scuba diving, hence the depth of the water, but they allowed a few swimmers (not without a hefty $26 per person). The water was warm but it was exactly what I needed after a hike under the Texas sun. I used this time to journal on the cliff before cooling off in the water.
Thank you Huntsville for the fun times. I can now cross you off my bucket list and we will see where I go next! You can find the video of my travels on my Youtube Channel, linked in my linktree in the header!! Any donations or tips go towards gear, equipment, better quality, and more content.
Monthly Galvy Trip
It all begins with an idea.
My trips to Galveston, Texas are frequent and not anything special to some people. To me, Galveston is everything. It has my whole heart and I love coming here. The beach may not look at others but it holds so many memories for me. I love the atmosphere of the city and the cool spots that I find. My most recent trip to Galvy in March was brief but fun. I visited Mod Coffee too many times to count (but that is no surprise) and I read my book whenever I got a chance. I went to my favorite bookstore for the cheapest book prices you’ll ever see. The shop is small and old and still prints their receipts on old typewriter paper- I love it. My favorite metaphysical store was paid a visit as well. The best part was the trip to the beach. Of course, I took my regular walk on the shore but during the day, I explored a part of the beach I had yet to discover. It was at the very tip of Galveston Island, where an old fort was covered in sand and nature. It had been decorated with graffiti and sat beautifully at the bottom of a hill. It was the perfect spot for reading and drawing. I snagged a few pics before leaving once the sun set- it did not seem like a friendly place to be at night and I did not want to anger any spirits. I hope to visit soon, which I probably will.
