Seven years ago, I took a leap of faith and stepped into the unknown, traveling to León, Mexico to meet a special person. Little did I know, this journey would forever change the trajectory of my life.
As I stood before the majestic angel wings near the church, a young girl captured my photo. I was a whirlwind of emotions, dreams, and uncertainty. Yet, in that moment, I felt an unshakeable sense of euphoria.
Fast-forward to today, I’m back in Mexico, reunited with the loved ones who became my Mexican family of heart. We’ve shared laughter, tears, and countless moments over the past seven years, forging an unbreakable bond.
To commemorate this full-circle moment, I’ve taken a new photo in the same spot where it all began – in front of those iconic angel wings. Yet, this time, I stand as a transformed individual, shaped by the experiences and connections of the past seven years.
One of my greatest joys is that I’ve fulfilled my dream of learning Spanish. Today, I can proudly say that I speak Spanish, a language that has opened doors to new cultures, connections, and understanding.
This experience embodies the spirit of my United Earth project: celebrating our shared humanity, embracing diversity, and fostering connections that transcend borders and cultures.
As I celebrate this reunion, I’m filled with joy, love, and a deep appreciation for life’s surprises. This is happiness: being open to the unknown, embracing growth, and cherishing the beauty of human connection.
