Here + Now | San Juan, CA — Sierra Mackenzie

"You get a strange feeling when you're about to leave a place... like you'll not only miss the people you love but you'll miss the person you are now at this time and this place because you'll never be this way ever again." -Azar Nafisi

Today, I left behind the keys to my first on-my-own place. three months ago I can say that I felt like a completely different person: uncertain about my future- knowing what I wanted but also not quite sure I could ever say or know how to get there. living in L.A. the last few months was the most incredible blessing, struggle, and opportunity to grow in ways even I could not have imagined.

Isn't that what God does, though?

Coming back to the desert excited for new homes, new adventures, and a soft heart ready and longing for the next round. I know there will always be learning curves, & I'm honestly happy they'll be there instead of remaining stagnant. but this time now is embracing the change and digging deep into my re-discovered heart and soul. here's to seeing with new eyes + keeping in mind the person I've become.
