& i'm back

Truth is, I've had some time away from this platform.  But I can confidently say I couldn't be happier to be back.  Here, present, and with a fresh start.  Some of you may know... and some of you may not but within the next 13 days I will be gearing up for a 6 month long gap year in Madrid, Spain.  For reasons that are endless.  For reasons based on logic and for reasons based on emotion.  Together though, it all created a drive I couldn't ignore, I needed to go.  Venture out.  Explore my dreams and make them reality.  This may sound corny, I understand that.  But I also understand how freeing it is to live life on the edge, to explore the unknown, to make day dreams your tomorrow.  To make what seems like the impossible, completely, and utterly possible.  So as I take on this new adventure I have chosen to bring you guys along with me.  To act as a little insight into what Madrid feels, looks like, and sounds like to a girl like me, and maybe I can inspire you to choose an unconventional path too.  

Anyways... if you find this intriguing I highly recommend you to follow along.  This will be interesting.  For now all I will give is a picture. 

XOXO, 

Lauren.
