Hi everyone and welcome back to Bella’s blogs! It is almost impossible to believe that I am sitting in DIA right now, sippin’ on my blackberry margarita, about to embark on one of the greatest life adventures yet. I am so excited to share that I am officially on my way to London, England to attend King’s College of London’s Masters of Science program, with an emphasis on Global Health, Social Justice, and Public Policy. After a year of adventure and traveling with G, I have decided to take a huge leap of faith and move myself (along with my five bags of luggage) 4685 mi (7540 km) across the pond.

One of my favorite music artists, Odesza, has a song titled, “This Version of You”. As I find myself caught up in all of the emotions that this next chapter brings, I look towards this song for comfort, safety, and reassurance. It is a reminder that this version of myself is being welcomed to see things as they really are. “This version of you simply becomes real”. I am here, right where I am supposed to be, being guided and support by not just my amazing family and friends, but by myself. I am anxious and I am scared. I am excited and I am curious. Both sides of these emotions are coupled together and urging me to enjoy and be present in every single moment that this next chapter brings.

To my family and friends, I love you so much and I would not be this version of myself without your continued love and support. I am forever grateful that I have a support system that makes saying goodbye so f***ing hard. Your love lives within every part of me and will be spread to every new connection and experience that I encounter. It is time for growth and I cannot wait to see what next versions of myself I get to share with all of you and the rest of our crazy, beautiful world.

Cheers and all the love,
