I've been back from Mazatlan for about a week now.. and honestly, I STILL cannot wipe the smile off of my face from that trip.
It's amazing how ONE week can change a person.. Hell, it amazes me sometimes how much one DAY can change a person/your life.
The first day we were in Mazatlan, my friends commented they were a little worried about me. They were not sure if I was just in shock about actually being there or if I was just still blue from the chaos the past few months happenings..
A few drinks in, and meeting some amazing people, that changed.
I met an amazing guy out there.. and let me tell you, if we lived in the same country I wouldn't most certainly scoop this fellow up! We connected from the start and had a strange ease with each other, that I haven't felt in a long time.. Regardless, just meeting someone who was so kind, unselfish, thoughtful and a real gentleman made me open my eyes.
I proclaimed to my BFF out in Mazatlan that I had not felt THAT happy in months.. and I am rather relieved to see that I still continue to feel that happiness, even being right back into the grind of work and "real" life.
I had an 'incident' the other day where I ran into my ex.. In the past, I think I would have crumpled and broke down. This time? I could simply walk away and let the situation be. No tears.
The above mentioned Mexican sweetheart charmed me, and we had some really great talks in the evenings.. It really helped me to let go of some past 'hurt' and look positively towards the future.
I cannot thank my mom enough for encouraging me to take this trip (as I was wavering prior) and for my friends that I was with for making it the best trip of my life... and of course to my Mexican sweetheart for giving me my smile back!
At the risk of sounding corny, this trip CHANGED me.. and that? I wouldn't change it for the world.
