Ready, Set, Vacation

Life can be so exhausting. Juggling work, school, and other life issues can stress someone out. Then summer comes around, that’s when I take it upon myself to prioritize my mental health and take a mental break. I’ve been spending all this time stressing over studying for finals and crazy co-workers that I need to just take a break from everything. So, the best way to release all that stress and negativity is by booking a vacation and going out as much as I can. Let the “Hot Girl Summer” commence!!
This summer I decided to just have fun and live my best life because last summer wasn’t so hot. It was time for me to do what makes me happy and also creating more memories with the ones that I love. There have been times where I just wanted to stay in and keep to myself, but I knew that really wouldn’t have done me any good. I can say that I stepped out this summer. I was able to go on vacation with my favorite sisters to DR, just being able to bond with them warms my heart. We stepped out of our comfort zone and took DR by storm. We did parasailing (which was my high literally!!), walked through a cave, zip-lining, banana boat, and so much more. Up Next was Toronto, Canada the girls and I took part in the second-largest Caribbean Carnival in the world “Caribana”. Once again the girls and I took the city by storm. It was pure bliss, having on my carnival costume and being “on di road” made feel so exotic, a feeling I would never forget.
I am so grateful for being able to catch flights, attend day parties, and just being around my sisters and family. This summer showed me that life is worth living and to be enjoyed. You don’t have to take extravagant vacations for you to have a lit summer, it could just be simple as throwing a BBQ in the back yard and having a few friends over. Your summer is what you make of it big or small. Take a break and enjoy what summer has to bring. Trust me your mind and body will thank you for it.
