I had never done scrapbook or collages before but I grew up watching my mom do scrapbooks. Almost three years ago I randomly decided to take some collage classes and I loved it. After that, I barely did anything until last year where my therapist had me do something creative through any medium that I wanted and I chose a collage.
I did this one last week inspired by Bad Bunny’s new album because hearing it made me feel like home while also aching to one day be able to go back. (context: i’m both puertorrican and mexican but currently live in mexico).

I cannot stress this enough. In the past six months I’ve made it my goal to be intentional in the places around me as I’m walking. And occasionally I find places or notice sunsets that are worth stoping for.
Then the most beautiful thing happens. People have seen me do that then they also stop to figure out what I’m staring at. They either keep going afterwards or stop and stare too.
Yesterday as I was walking I saw this freaking BEAUTIFUL sunset and I stopped to take a pic and then this guy saw me, saw the sunset and then he stopped to take a pic too <3
One small step can change so much around us!
