Internship.

I started my internship June 4th till August 1st, more or less, at Vera Wang, Manhattan, NYC. I've been a fan of Vera Wang ever since my aunt gave me a folder with all her designs (I was about 15 years old), including a biography and a black and white picture of Vera, her self. That being said, it's been about 8 years since I've been "dreaming" of her designs. They're not like others. I mean, some are cool and all, and not precisely a known designer, but Vera makes ALL her designs desirable and all of them are made with the same fabrics. Tones vary, they go from white, ivory, vanilla, lavender (lavender is a gorgeous color!) to black or red. All dresses have at least 5 layers.

So... I thought I'd be getting coffee. Obviously I was so wrong. I did patterns, I checked if the packages that came in where all safe and sound, and with no defects (embroidery generally), if there was, we sent it back for another one. I also did inventory's, I checked receipts/invoice's. Picked up and dropped off lots of stuff and sewed labels on sashes.

It was truly an amazing experience. I got to hang out mostly with the pattern maker, so I learned a lot from her (she was awesome!); the way they made patterns was different than how we do it in Mexico, well... at least at school. You know, it's so damn hard at school, but when I was doing my intern, I thought it was the easiest thing in the world, the only hard part was waking up at 6, to get an express train at 7 (more or less) and be there at least by 8:30 to walk my way to work.

I hope I get another experience like this.

The trip.

What trip do I mean? A trip out of the continent? A trip from one state to another? A trip to the other side of the world? A trip on a boat? Airplane? Car?...

This trip is about how I jumped from my "social personality" to "myself".

It's interesting that I've written as a title "The trip" and I will tell you why; It's never as easy as it seams when you want to change something from yourself, and I mean really change something, when you mean it and it's a goal.
It's indeed a trip, when you change one thing from yourself, like changing a nasty habit like making fun of people for the things they say or do, then changing to the thought that maybe they are "ignorant" (per say) because they don't want to admit a reality they are living within themselves and there for, when we start thinking that way, putting our selves in someone else's shoes, changes our perception of our everyday routine.

I used to be a sarcastic, bitter, young girl, for what, to feel angrier of myself? I never knew it was making me angrier each time I was mean to someone and ignorant of their own situation. The minute I stopped, my world was changing already, my perception changed.

Now, I'm not saying to have compassion for every single person, I mean, it can be sad, but sometimes, when someone lingers too long in a "sad" situation, it's because they are fully comfortable in that spot, if they weren't, they would change, it's as simple as that.

So, the trip is this.
TRIP, fall, and realize what IS working for you and what ISN'T. Change. If nature changes all the time, then that means that we too, should change.

Beware one thing, when you change, other people change too, for the better or for the worse, but they change. Don't linger in the past, let the past be your trampoline to make you better person.

Today... well rather, tonight, I've realized that writing heals me in every way, it always makes me realize what I'm feeling or thinking. I thank for the writing, because it always helps me.

Thank you readers, for taking the time and place to finish reading what I have to say.
Goodnight.
