If life would be easy, where would all the lessons and adventures be?. — Judith Morales-Kim

The rainy season feels as though it is upon us as the torrential downpour begins just after 7pm and is continuous and steady throughout the rest of the night. Unsure about venturing out in this weather, I have promised to meet a couple from LA that I had met the previous night while enjoying another sunset on the beach with another new friend Omeed, who is a recent MBA grad from Harvard–Ill tell you, the people you meet and the stories that is their own life path is still pretty amazing to me, especially when you think of how and where you’ve met in life. Dante and Trishia, walk in to meet me several minutes late, but because I know the owners of Republika, I’ve enjoyed arguing the upcoming NFL season, especially with Cory since he’s an avid member of Raider Nation. Sad. Pathetic. Grossly horrific. All of the above, for his poor choice to stick with the black and silver, and I have expressed this many times to him. The night is filled with conversation and laughter as Trishia and I continue the current topic at hand, and since she is a huge Minnesota Vikings fan and her husband is an insane Giants fan, there is plenty to discuss and the hours begin to fade into the night. Just before 10:30pm, I bid these new friends goodbye as their taxi is waiting to take them back to their resort about 15 minutes away from SJDS, and I have pulled my dark green rain jacket on over my head and am ready for the quick walk home.

Tuesday, awaking at 8am to songs that remind me of my infamous fall mixes, currently playing is Death Cab for Cutie’s Title and Registration, and I cannot help as a variation of images dance in my head. I have always loved the autumn months in Colorado; the beginning of cooler nights while the days still bring quite a bit of warmth, burnt orange leaves that will soon leave behind bare branches, the changing of the seasons, to me, was always an opportunity for change as well, and, even though I may not be experiencing this seasonal change while camping out on the Pacific coastline of Nicaragua, I can still feel those changes are coming, even though I am not entirely sure what they are, but I am excited. I am exited for the life lessons and adventures that have become a part of my great journey that exist outside of a cubicle office space, but have become more real, tangible fixtures in my life as I aspire to achieve what so many only dream of. The ability to live out a dream is one of the most incredible things, and I wish everyone could share in this feeling. But, what I have realized, is that everyone has choices to make for themselves, choices that no one else can impose, because the choices that we make today begin to set up what we will do tomorrow.
