Reflections on the Golden Gate Bridge

It hasn’t all been bad but let me tell you a story. It had been seven years since I had visited San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge specifically, and I didn’t realize how much of a reflection moment it would be to come back. The last time I was here I was in college and the guy I was seeing asked me to go on this trip with another classmate of ours to build his portfolio and I said sure why not! Not only do I think this was the start of me saying yes to spontaneous adventures but I think it was the universe trying to tell me “hey you’ve always wanted to travel and adventure and you did this so go do more!” And did I? Not really. It took a few more years for me to really start going for it. And life has been one big curveball after another since but I still found my way here, to this bridge, and to the life I want. Do I still have goals and dreams of what I want my life to be? Absolutely! But having a moment where I can reflect on everything that I’ve been through (good & bad), everything that has changed, and allowing myself to dream even bigger from that is pretty freaking rad. Reflection and change are good as long as we aren’t looking at it with rose colored glasses and instead use it to make this one life we get to live the most magical experience. What were you doing seven years ago? Are you closer to your dreams?
