So remember how I said that I was terrified of being on my own in another country? Well, I’m braver than I thought I was. Today is the fifth day that I arrived in Punta Cana & the second day that I traveled outside the resort. I explored Santo Domingo & completely went rouge discovering the local villages & tribes. I was even Queen for a day (I’m keeping the crown forever)! I even went to the city to visit the Casino & see a new friend in a local billards bar. I’ve met so many people who have praised my independence, bravery, beauty & wit. The best way to discover yourself is to wander. And I have wandered.

Last night at dinner this pilot & I were sitting next to each other eating alone. He shocked me, before he left he said that everyone searches for peace, few discover it & that I should consider myself one of the lucky ones.

I do. I am lucky & so blessed.

I’m doing it. I’m moving on, body, mind & spirit. Healing myself after five years of putting my entire being last.

Redesigning my mentality has introduced me to one of the most - most - most remarkable experiences.

Thank you for never following through, putting me last, considering me an outsider, using me & saying that was love was like.

If you didn’t, to the point where I thought that the only way to be loved, then none of this would have happened.

I would just still be waiting for a ring, a family & all those things you told me I wasn’t worth.

Instead, alone, I am a foreigner traveling to that blissful sunrise.

Thousands of miles away, I rest my head. The distance has given me so much strength.
