happy one year to me in my bedford casita ❤

the peace and inner bliss i feel here is something i never felt in LA or miami. its like a whole new type of love and connection to my surroundings. i dont think ive ever felt this feeling of really thinking wow, here is where i belong. one year later and the honeymoon phase stays strong.

some moments (from the bedford casita album ❤)

ive given a lot for casita, but shes given so much back to me. its hard to describe the feelings and the moments ive spent here, not only within these walls but in my surrounding neighborhood. maybe its ok to not have all the words. the past month has been hard for me and as i flow through pessimistic moods, i cant help but only find positivity in what ive found here. its what i was looking for. ive found what i was looking for. no matter what happens externally, here is where i heal, where i regather myself, where i am my most self.

this is love!!!

day#1 — the keys / the first moments / the first cafecito
first week — clari helping me move in
first month — lots of handyman work, fb marketplace runs, and my gym!!
first winter — cold weather and the best guests
found my fav coffee shop. the corners of my home.
everything!
