LOH314 || ‎I would look to go, to detox from the stress of December...

‎Maybe I would choose a destination according to the type of memory I am looking to share with my closest affections and of course, it all depends on what kind of experience I want to project to keep in my memories.

I am a woman from the tropics, the Caribbean and as a good Latina, I love places where joy, dance, color and a vibrant social atmosphere are present. I would love to be on the beach for the energy of the crowd, the music on the sand, and to welcome the year with my feet in the water.

December is usually a month full of hurry, shopping and commitments. Since ancient times, sea water has been associated with spiritual cleansing. The sea breeze, the sound of the waves and the immensity of the ocean act as a natural de-stressing, inviting me to a total disconnection and mental calm.

So entering the water at midnight or on January 1st I perceive it as a ritual to erase the mistakes, tiredness and bad energies of the year that ends, the old year, emerging "reborn" as the phoenix for the new cycle. New cycle coming to tell me... that I am the owner of my own life, that I no longer have the fear of the maiden, and I still have the time that the old woman lacks, that I will be one day, so I want to live, enjoy no matter what they say or what the social dictates, only what my heart asks🤍
