Let's talk about mental health. π«β£β£ β£β£ May is mental health awareness month. First we should discuss why it exists and why it matters. May was picked as the mental health awareness month in hopes of raising awareness about the importance of mental health and to stop the stigma associated with mental health. Ok, cool so why should you care?β£β£ β£β£ Although we've come a long way in reducing the stigmatization of mental health, there is still work to be done. Many are struggling and need to find healthy coping strategies and solutions through effective and scientifically-supported therapies and activities. Some are struggling to admit they need support. If it's impacting one person, it impacts us all directly or indirectly, believe it or not. Let's push for a healthier, happier, and more understanding society. πβ£β£ β£β£ TELL ME: What is the best strategy to deal with mental health challenges?β£β£ β£β£ Here are some quick facts on mental health. Slide to view.β‘οΈβ£β£ β£β£ Check out @elliebearescapades recent post on mental health (that inspired this one!)β£ β£ #mentalhealth #pamm #mentalhealthawareness

Don't get fat! You're too skinny, gain some weight. You need to fix yourself more and dress nicer. Wow, you're really going out dressed like that? Cover yourself!

This made me rethink π¦π·π¦π³πΊπ΅π©πͺπ―π¨!β£ β£ Everyone wants to be brave but no one wants to be vulnerable - @BreneBrownβ£ β£ Recently I watched a documentary on @netflix, ππ©π¦ ππ’ππ π΅π° ππ°πΆπ³π’π¨π¦. Brown talked about bravery only existing in the presence of vulnerability. And then I started thinking of a time when I was brave but not vulnerable and it doesn't exist. β£ β£ And yet, my biggest accomplishment are times I was vulnerable. Times I was scared, judged, and criticized by friends, family, strangers. β£ β£ Now I'm about to start a new chapter and y'all I am ππππππ. I'm starting grad school soon at an ivy league and all these questions have begun to arise. Am I good enough? Am I smart enough? Do I really deserve this? Can I handle it?β£ β£ I know deep down the answer is yes! But dealing with the #Impostersyndrome, the uncertainty, challenges, and insecurities, make me scared of this experience. I am excited and remind myself that this is a part of being brave and yes it may be scary now but aren't all great experience a little scary? Or is that only applicable in my life? πβ£ β£ Is there something really scary that you wanna do? Let me know in the comments! Also, can you think of a time you were brave & vulnerable? β£ β£ β£ ---β£ #wynwoodwalls #wynwood #thecalltocourage #Frida

These words are powerful. β£ β£ Words used to compliment. Words used to express love, gratitude, forgiveness. Words of affirmation. β£ β£ We often forget how much power we carry.

I'm going to be really honest with you- sometimes I want to GIVE UP! I ask myself a bunch of questions like: What's the point? Who actually cares? β£ β£ Does this sound familiar? Well, KEEP ON READING cus this one is for you! β€β£ β£ BUT here's the deal - maybe out of every 20 people, 5 care. And those are FIVE people who support and encourage. Those are people who look forward to my post and show support via follows + likes + kind comments. AND more importantly, these may be the 5 people who read my tricks and tips on budget travel (link in bio).

Unpopular opinion: You can take lots of pictures and be in the moment.β£β£ β£β£ Time and time again I see people criticizing others for taking too many pictures. But they seem to be completely ignoring the reason and purpose. For some people photography + instagram is their artistic outlet. Some use it for their business and job.

How to be a good friend in 2019 πβ£ β£ 1. Communicate π£β£ You can't talk right now? You need some space? Something made you upset? Let them know. No one can read your mind. Make sure you're using your communications skills to share. β£ β£ 2. Support + encourage πβ£ Hype them up! Push them towards their goals and dreams. π«β£ β£ 3. Listenππ»β£ Listen more than you speak. Don't just have conversations to hear yourself talk. Try to actively listen and understand what people are saying first. β£ β£ 4. Check in ππ»ββοΈβ£ Reach out to your friend every now and then just to say hello and see how they are doing. β£ β£ Remember your time is not more valuable than anyone else's. Everyone is busy and everyone has 24 hours in a day. π€·π»ββοΈβ£ β£ BONUS TIP: I love using technology to stay connected. I often send rants + updates on snapchat or other social media platforms through video and audio. It's not that often that you're available for a chat, but by sending audios and videos, they can stay connected regardless of schedules. π β£ β£ Is there something I left out?

I'm not just lucky, I'm privileged. β£β£ β£β£ I think as we grow and understand who we are and our place in the world, it's important to reflect on our identities. We have to think about how those identities impact our experiences. β£β£ β£β£ Yes, its a little bit of luck & a lot hard work but I'd be wrong to dismiss my privilege and it's role in my travels and education. These privileges include: being a fair-skinned Latina, abled-bodied, and even my American passport. EVERYONE has privilege, of one form or another. β£β£ β£β£ I often think of all the disadvantages and obstacles I've faced but today I wanted to think of all the advantages I was simply born with and did not have to work for. Personally, I can travel to most countries without any additional visas, which has played a role in visiting 30 countries. (Yes, some required visas too but some did not). As a fair Latina, I get more representation in the Latinx than others, which helps find role models and envision myself in a positive light. Being able-bodies has made things easier for me everywhere I go because for the most part, the world caters to abled people and their needs. This means I can easily access public bathrooms, use any public transportation without any concern, etc. β£β£ β£β£ BE HONEST + TELL ME: What's a privilege you have? Go a step further if you'd like and tell me how that priviledge has given you an advantage!

Here's the truth about traveling that no one seems to talk about.β£ β£ Traveling won't solve your problems. YUP, it's true. Getting away from your hometown isn't the solution. Your problems go with you wherever you go. Sure, it may bring you some temporary joy but eventually you'll snap back into reality. β£ β£ Before you decide to travel to get away from it all make sure you prioritize your mental health. Make sure you found healthy ways to resolve your issues. Don't put your problems on pause, face them head-on. β£ β£ Sometimes there just isn't a quick fix. π€·π»ββοΈ But hey, that's life! β£ β£ TELL ME: So, what do you think? Let me know in the comments?

Can you be christian AND support social issues? I know, touchy subject! But its important to talk about. β£β£ β£β£ I've been having an internal battle balancing my strong support in social issues and christianity. I believe everyone has a right to the pursuit of happiness, whatever it may be, as long as they're not hurting others.

If you're a good person, we can be friends. Regardless of your religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity. Double tap if you agree!β£β£ β£β£ Also - I don't think christianity is the right religion. In fact, I don't think there is one.

I've been really ignorant. β£ β£ Growing up, I had very few friends outside of my ethnicity. In Miami it felt really cliquey in my schools. When I went to college at @mdcollege and @uofmichigan it felt different. β£ β£ My circle of friends got more diverse (in everything- race, ethnicity, gender expression), which changed everything for me because I began listening and learning (more than before) about issues faced by other communities. As I continue learning and exploring the world I keep those issues in mind to avoid being inappropriate/disrespectful or the basic traveler (we can talk about that later). β£ β£ And to be completely honest travel has helped get rid of negative stereotypes and misconceptions I've had of different people and cultures.β£ β£ But the learning journey should never end. β£ β£ TELL ME: Is there a movie or book that has helped you learn something new about a social issue?

β£ Do numbers matter? β£ β£ Hey, I'm back. I took a little break. I hate to be one of those people but sometimes numbers get to me. But sometimes I have to stop and ask myself: Do numbers matter? β£ β£ For as long as I can remember numbers have been an obsession for everyone. Numbers in your bank account. Number of friends. Numbers on the scale. Number of likes and followers. β£ β£ The answer is: no, numbers do not matter.

Am I enough?β£ β£ This questioned has always plagued my life.β£ β£ My experiences and identity constantly make me ask myself if I am good enough. I think many women of color in particular go through this experience when they are successful, ironically. Especially if you are of low socioeconomic status or a first-generation college student. To see someone as influential and successful as Michelle Obama admit that she too has doubts somehow brings some relief. Stories of struggle paired with success are important to share because it inspires and empower others.β£ β£ I remember being a student at Michigan and not feeling like I was good enough or belonged, even when I wasnt only doing well, but excelling academically which was reflected in my grades. β£ β£ When I kept getting accepted to nearly every program I applied to, in and outside of the USA, I wondered if I even deserved it. β£ β£ Throwback to my first trip to South America in Peru!β£ β£ β£ π«TELL ME: Have you ever doubted yourself and felt like you weren't good enough even when you were being successful?π«β£ β£ β£ β£ ---β£ #throwback #IamBecoming #LiveAuthentic #blogithme #cybercorner #exploretocreate #beautifuldestinations #welltraveled #travelphoto #ig_travel #toTheGirls #blogginggals #empowerment #girlboss β£#peru #machupicchu #visitperu #igersperu #ThatsDarling #prettylittleinspo #prettylittleiiinspo #discoverunder5k #miamiblogger #miamiliving @uofmichigan @michiganalumni @mdcalumni @mdcollege

This is kinda weird. β£β£ β£β£ New year's is one of my favorite holidays. Probably my favorite one! Every year I continue superstitious family traditions.

I feel like I'm constantly looking forward to the next thing that I forget to appreciate where I'm at and how far I've come. β€β£ β£ So this is your reminder to appreciate the process and the stage you're in right now. β£ β£ Throwback to Brazil! I was looking forward to being abroad and then I was looking forward to coming home. πβ£ β£ TELL ME: What do you appreciate about your life right now?β£

These words changed my life.β£β£ β£β£ Don't apply anywhere, no one will accept you are the words my high school counselor told me. It still hurts to even think about it. But these words changed my life in a positive way. β€β£β£ β£β£ I used them to motivate me to strive for more. Now, several years later, I have plenty of accomplishments to be proud of. I guess I don't like people doubting me. Gotta prove them wrong, ya know. πβ£ β£ One includes traveling the world. This year I reached 30 countries! πβ£β£ β£β£ TELL ME: Has anyone said anything that has motivated you? β£β£ β£β£

It wasn't what I expected. β£ β£ They always say prepare for the unexpected but sometimes things don't go your way even if you prepare. You see, I'm a social butterfly. I need social interaction every now and again. But somehow I found myself very lonely. β£ β£ I didn't explore Brazil. For weeks I didn't do anything social. But it wasn't all bad! I still learned some Portuguese and volunteered for 6 weeks! β£ β£ TELL ME: Are you a social butterfly or do you enjoy your alone time? β£ β£ Personally I'm an ambivert so I like both! β£ β£ β£ ---β£ #solotravel #solofemaletraveler #latinablogger #miamitravelblogger #travelblogger #budgettravel #mybudgettravel #volunteerabroad #igers_santamaria #igers_brasil #igers_brazil #christmassy #ThatsDarling #prettylittleinspo #littlejoys #discoverunder10k #discoverunder5k #santamaria #riograndedosul
