I’ve had a mostly stable month where my inner light never fully dwindled but stayed relatively the same and only changed in moments of happiness!

I originally assumed:
Purpose is found through the things you do.
January 31, 2026
These assumptions are changing:
Purpose is not centered around what you do and not do, but what you feel inwardly and how you choose to bring that forward.

A moment I stepped out of my comfort zone this month was:
Driving in the snow! I absolutely hate driving, even more so during bad weather, but I have it a shot and it turned out really well. I was super proud of myself :)

Digital Detox Retreat

Being intentionally away from technology and distractions has taught me:
Being online takes away my creativity, my sense of awareness, and ability to be present. I found that my sleep, social battery, and drive to create all improved when I stepped away from technology and distractions. I was able to truly listen into myself and honor what felt true.

Thank you for taking part of the small group sessions and helping me feel tethered to The Flight School community as I am traveling. Our in-depth conversations have helped give me a place to reflect on my past and inner questionings and give me something to look forward to!

I know this plan has been changing a lot, and I’m sorry I haven’t been the most responsive or consistent planning partner. You’ve been super easy to plan with and I feel like you catch a lot of the holes in my plan and help me be more prepared. XOXO

Although we kept missing each other in our calls, our voice note updates taught me how beautiful it can be to connect with someone with intention and no burden. Thank you for being patient and open to exploring new ways of connecting overseas.

This is a picture of Derin, my friend, and I after we got dinner. Before this night, I had not seen or spoken to him for around 2 years. However, about a week beforehand, I ran into him at a car wash and we made plans to see one another. Talking with him and seeing how much he has grown was so beautiful and heartwarming. Everything, and yet nothing, was different about him. The young freshman, who I always used to joke and say was my son, is a senior now. He just got into his dream school, is making music, and experienced his first love. His humor is still the same, but there is more maturity in his words, more wisdom. Neither of us is the same, yet somehow we still fit, it’s magical.
Friend Reunion

This picture captures the day after my best friends and I had a Christmas celebration and reunion after not seeing one another for around four months. This night was full of laughter, side quests, shenanigans, love, and being present with one another - and also about 0-3 hours of sleep depending on the person :p. These girls always make my life magical by instilling love and understanding into our relationships, and I am forever grateful for the memories we make together!
Hobbit Hole

Sep 28, 2025
Last weekend, I was able to visit the Hobbiton movie set in Matamata, New Zealand. As a huge Lord of the Rings and Hobbit fan, seeing this in person was a dream come true. Walking by a hobbit hole for the first time made me feel like I entered into one of my favorite novels, helping reignite the kid in me who loved reading, exploring, and dreaming of fantastical worlds. This sense of joy is what makes my trip to Hobbiton my magical moment of the month!

Final goodbyes with friends, host families, and the people who changed my life for the better. I have always spent Thanksgiving with the people I love, but this year the people may have looked different, but the sentiment was the same!
Redwoods at Night
Rotorua

Oct 25, 2025
Rotorua is a small town around three hours away from Auckland. It is know for its geothermal activity, natural beauty, and its Redwood trees. I had heard from many of my coworkers that the Redwood at night walk was one of the most beautiful things they had seen - they were not wrong. This picture captures the moment of me walking through the trees, almost 200 feet off the ground, and watching the light show brightening up the night sky. In this moment, I was in awe of nature's beauty and how it was combined with thoughtful art. I was grounded, fulfilled, and reminded of my humanity in a way that only nature and art can make you feel.
