chapter thirteen — promesa
➝ charlie feels completely out of place in oviedo, following fernando's first weeks of recovery. however, he makes sure she feels completely at home.
➝ word count: 4,1k
➝ warnings: mentions of smut, insecurity, fernando being absolute down for his girl
➝ author's note: tagging @christianpulisic10, @alonsogirlie, @he-is-the-destined, @sunnytkm23 and @enaticosencantados as requested.
After closing the door to the dryer, Charlie pressed the buttons to start the cycle and glanced out of the laundry room window. The distant lights of Oviedo contrasted with the sky whose orange from sunset was replaced by the black of night. The low sound of the crickets overlapped the noise of the cars passing by on the nearby highway, in a scenario that could be described as the most absolute peace.
However, peace wasn’t what she felt at that moment.
Charlie sighed as she leaned against the wall. There didn’t seem to be enough hours in the day, even though she was technically on her winter holidays. “And to think that I thought this would be a peaceful trip to Spain,” she thought, running a hand over her face.
Staying with Fernando in Oviedo seemed like it should have been a peaceful retreat on its surface, removed from the hectic circus of travel, races, and lots of people, but chaos followed them all the way back to Fernando’s house. There wasn't a day when the driver didn't have someone over to visit, either for a quick chat or to spend the entire day with him.
On the first day, they had Fernando's parents over, along with Lorena, Edo and Fernando's nieces, Maria and Bianca. Some of his old schoolmates came over the day after. On the third day, the staff from his museum came over, as well as some Kimoa employees. Over the weekend, some of Fernando’s friends from his karting days came over, then Alberto and Luis.
The visits and attention made Fernando happy, and Charlie was happy that he had so many people that loved him enough to come and visit, but she couldn’t help but feel a little bit out of place. For one thing, Fernando introduced her to everyone as his girlfriend — even without actually asking for it to be official, which was unforgivable, according to Fernando’s niece Maria — and everyone treated her with kindness and respect, she was still a stranger to them and that was evident by the way they looked at her.
The language barrier was another frustration. Some of them spoke English, albeit with a strong accent, but Fernando was by far the most fluent of any of them, which added to Charlie’s anxiety.
When they spoke in such rapid Spanish together, Charlie figured they weren’t talking about her, but as she walked around the house wearing some of Fernando’s t-shirts with yoga pants, her hair up in a bun with her bangs messier, she couldn’t help but wonder if they were talking about how Fernando could do better or how she was a slob. She could have worn nicer clothing or put on some makeup before they had guests over, but it wasn’t her priority when she was doing so much to keep Fernando comfortable and help him with his recovery.
He was her priority.
— Nena? — Charlie heard Fernando calling from the living room, bringing her back to the present. She took one last look out of the window before she took a deep breath and went to see what Fernando needed. The last time she was out here, Fernando was talking to Alberto and Chiara, Kimoa’s head of production. They seemed to have left, and Fernando was on his feet already, leaning on his crutches.
— Hi, did you need something?
— Can you help me up the stairs? — Fernando asked with a smile.
— Yeah, I can, but wouldn't you rather eat something first?
— No need, I'll come down later if I need to — he said, as he went to the stairs. Charlie didn't question him. After all, after a full day of visitors and a painful physiotherapy session, he must have been tired. He definitely needed the rest.
Charlie helped Fernando up to the second floor and followed after him slowly as he walked into the bedroom, the sound of his crutches echoing through the hallway. Then, she helped Fernando into bed, making sure he was comfortable with the way he was propped up, with his injured leg elevated. She turned to go back downstairs, but he stopped her.
— Charlie — he murmured, causing her to look back — Please stay.
She smiled softly.
— I want to, but I have to finish doing the laundry.
— You can do that later.
— My darling, I'm already wearing your clothes because I don’t have anything clean anymore — Charlie argued, approaching the bed. Looking at what she was wearing, Fernando smiled broadly.
— I think you look pretty wearing my clothes — he said — Of course, you look best when you’re wearing nothing…
Charlie felt her cheeks heat up.
— You know I can't just walk around naked in front of everyone.
— I know, that’s for my eyes only.
Giving her a smile, she leaned over him and pecked him on the lips before making another attempt to leave the room. However, Fernando held her hand firmly.
— Stay, nena — Fernando purred — The laundry can wait.
— And you can’t?
— Not when it feels like I've spent a lifetime away from you.
Charlie smiled, giving in to the request. Rounding the bed, she settled down next to him, feeling Fernando's arm pull her into a hug, her head resting just above his heart. The soft sound made her close her eyes momentarily, just to savor that moment of silence and peace, feeling his fingers glide over the fabric of the T-shirt she was wearing.
There were moments when Charlie found it hard to believe that the driver was alive, and in her arms. After the crash, she started having nightmares about it, but they tended to end more tragically than the reality. Last night, she remembered standing in front of his closed casket, draped in the Asturian flag, clutching a single rose in her hand, the thorns cutting into her palm and making blood drip down the stem. Everyone was saying goodbye to him, but she couldn’t. “He's still here”, she thought, gripping the rose, ignoring the blood flowing from her palm.
— I missed you — Fernando said softly, breaking the silence between them.
— We haven't been apart since you came out of surgery.
— But it seems like I'm always far away from you...
— I know, it’s like you've been more in demand than the King of England these last few days — Charlie muttered. Her tone made Fernando shift suddenly, their eyes meeting.
— Are you sad?
The question surprised her, in a way. As much as Charlie tried hard to appear relaxed and happy, she realized at that moment that she felt profoundly alone in Fernando’s house. It wasn't Fernando's fault, after all, he had almost died and what he wanted most was to have the people he loved close by as he recovered from his accident. However, the feeling of being an intruder there was overwhelming, not to mention suffocating.
— Me? — Charlie stammered — Well, I mean, uh, not exactly…
Fernando sighed.
— Charlie, I want you to tell me the truth — he said seriously — You just seem down. Did someone say something to you? Was it one of my colleagues from Kimoa? Or was it my mother? I know she's a little too direct sometimes...
— No, nobody said anything to me — she replied, looking away — Actually, I think that's precisely the problem.
His hand slid to her face, causing Charlie to look back at Fernando’s eyes.
— What do you mean?
— I'm feeling out of place, Fer. I'm feeling like a stranger here, with your family, with your friends. They talk to you in Spanish, they laugh and I don't know what the joke is — Charlie said, feeling embarrassed — Sometimes I think I'm the joke…
— But… Why would you be the joke?
— Because I’m, well... You bring some girl home with you after your accident to these people you’ve known most of your life. I feel like an idiot wearing your clothes, not wearing any makeup, just having my hair up in a bun, making it look like I’m not putting in nearly the amount of effort I should be into being a good partner and a good hostess. So it feels like I’m a stranger, and that I'm a joke.
Fernando kept looking at her, his expression serious.
— You're not a joke, Charlie.
— But…
— First of all, if anyone laughed at you, I would tell them to leave immediately — he said, stroking her face — Secondly, how many times do I have to tell you that you look great in my clothes? I wish you could wear nothing but my clothes for the rest of your life.
— I can't show up to the factory in your overalls, you know that, right?
— I wouldn't mind — Fernando laughed — And lastly, I couldn't be happier and more grateful to have you by my side. This house would be a complete disaster if you weren’t here.
— I'm just doing the basics...
— And that's enough to make me happy. The happiest man in the world, actually — he murmured, before bringing his hand to the back of Charlie's neck and leading her to a slow and peaceful kiss, his fingers caressing her skin lightly.
— I love you — Charlie whispered, her lips brushing his, carrying the promise of more kisses filled with the love that made her chest warm.
— I love you too, nena — Fernando answered softly.
Kissing him again, she felt the driver's touch on her skin like a match that scratched the surface and ignited a hot, powerful flame.
Charlie wanted to burn in Fernando's hands.
Carefully, she slipped a leg over his hips, settling herself over the driver's body. Bringing her hands up to his face, Charlie continued kissing him, feeling his fingers caress the skin of her back, underneath the t-shirt she was wearing.
That instant made Charlie realize how long she had gone without having sex with Fernando. The night in Suzuka was the last time the two of them had allowed themselves such an intimate moment, lulled by the taste of champagne and the afternoon's victory. At that moment, that night seemed like a lifetime ago. And, feeling something tingle under her navel, Charlie was willing to make up for lost time.
— I missed you, you know that? — she murmured. Fernando took one of his hands to her face, allowing her to savor the touch of his palm against her skin, her heart filling with the warmth that only love was capable of providing.
— I missed you too, my love — he replied, before pulling the fabric of the shirt she was wearing, exposing her breasts. Biting her bottom lip, Charlie brought Fernando's hands to her chest, closing her eyes to enjoy that deliciously intimate touch.
With the driver's thumbs brushing lightly over her nipples, a shiver of excitement ran through her body. Her hips moved unconsciously, seeking some stimulus, without success. So, she decided to lead one of Fernando's hands down, implying for him to put his fingers inside her shorts and touch her the way she wanted.
However, instead of a lust-filled comment or the shift of hips that she knew so well, Fernando let out a hiss of pain.
— Fer? — she asked, opening her eyes suddenly — Are you okay? Did I hurt you?
He gave a pained little smile.
— Yeah, no, it’s just — the driver stopped, closing his eyes tightly — My head started to throb. I don't think I can keep going...
Sweeping a hand across his forehead to brush his hair back, Charlie pressed her lips together. She'd been naive enough to think they'd be able to have sex a little over a week after the accident, especially considering the doctor's recommendation to avoid activities that would take a lot of effort on his part because of the concussion.
Rolling off Fernando, Charlie sat on the bed and grabbed the T-shirt she'd discarded on the mattress, pulling it on while she thought about what he could take to ease the pain.
— I’m sorry, nena — she heard him mumble beside her. Turning her face, she raised an eyebrow.
— For what?
— For this.
Charlie chuckled.
— Are you apologizing for not feeling up to having sex with me?
— Yeah.
— You know you don't need to, right?
— But, we've been away from each other for so long and now that we're together, I just can't give you what you want.
Taking his hand, Charlie smiled.
— You talk like I'm with you for your performance in bed and not for who you are — she said.
— I doubt my performance isn't a determining factor — he murmured, eyes squeezed shut as his other hand massaged one of his temples.
— Relevant, not determinant. I can survive without having sex with you.
— No, you couldn't.
— I did, for two months.
The driver smirked.
— I doubt you didn't moan my name on those nights away from me.
Her cheeks flushed, and Charlie felt like an open book in Fernando's hands, who read the pages like no one else. Of course she fantasized about him while they were apart, more times than she could count, wanting her own fingers to become his to reach the spot only he could find inside her.
— So what if I did?
— It just proves that you want me and that I failed you today.
Sliding across the mattress, Charlie sat closer to him, still holding his hand.
— You are recovering from a serious accident, my love. You've suffered a concussion and a fracture and need some time to recover. And it's okay. It's not like you have — she said, looking at the bulge in his pants — Erectile dysfunction or anything like that.
He followed Charlie's gaze before huffing in frustration.
— I hate this — the driver muttered.
— I don’t like it either, but what matters to me is that you’re alive and that you’re recovering — she replied, giving a little smile — And I'll take care of you every day ‘till you are fully recovered.
They exchanged a long look, which spoke far more than anything they said. But then, a low rumble made Charlie giggle.
— And that means feeding you when your stomach starts to growl — she added.
Fernando brought her hand to his lips, placing a gentle kiss on Charlie's fingers.
— Thank you, mi amor — he said softly.
Charlie went downstairs, already feeling a bit better as she thought about what was in the fridge that she could make for dinner. On her first day in Oviedo, Lorena had taken her shopping and helped her prepare a few meals in advance. It was one of her more useful race season habits that helped her eat regular home-cooked meals instead of relying on Deliveroo while she was at home and didn’t feel like spending all of her time cooking.
Dinner came together quickly, since Charlie imagined that Fernando needed something comforting and she had a beef stew ready, which she liked to eat with dumplings. It was one of her favorite meals, as her grandmother used to make it when she was sad or frustrated about something when she was little. The flavor of the spices together with the softness of the dumplings made all the problems disappear from Charlie's day.
And, in a way, from Fernando’s too.
— This is delicious, nena — he said, still with his mouth full, after a few spoonfuls — Where did you learn to cook this?
— My grandmother taught me — Charlie replied, putting the spoon down on the plate with a smile — Great for those typically English rainy and cold days.
— It would have been great to know that when I was living there — Fernando muttered, taking a bite of a dumpling.
— You just had to date a good English girl instead of spending years going out with those skinny women — she replied, with a teasing little smile on her face — Although, maybe, they were skinny because you don't know how to cook anything.
He feigned outrage, dropping his spoon onto his plate.
— What? I’m a great cook!
— Your tuna omelette is proof that you are not, my love.
— When I'm recovered, I'll show you how good I cook — Fernando replied, before leaning over to poke Charlie in the ribs, tickling her — And I want to see you say they didn't eat because of me.
— Let's see, Captain Canned Tuna — she said, causing him to laugh out loud, the sound filling her with something warm and familiar.
“This is love”, she concluded, as she picked up the spoon again to finish eating.
The next few days were filled with a strange, almost unnerving calm. There were no friends or relatives of Fernando wanting to see him, just Edo coming by to do his physical therapy. It didn't take long for Charlie to discover that he had told everyone that he wouldn’t be taking any more visitors so he could focus on a complicated recovery process. The decision seemed radical to her, but in a way, Charlie was relieved that she didn't have to play hostess any more.
However, the biggest surprise came early one afternoon, when Fernando appeared in the living room for the first time wearing something other than pajamas.
— Are you going out? — Charlie asked, placing her phone on her lap.
— We are.
— And where are we going?
— You'll see, now go get dressed.
As she drove, following Fernando's instructions, she couldn't shake the feeling of anxiety. At all times, she was looking for some sign of where he was taking her. Until, when going through an entrance, an orange sign revealed where they were.
— Are you taking me to your museum? — she questioned him.
— Surprise — the driver said, smiling.
When Fernando said he had a museum and a circuit, on the way to Milan airport, Charlie had something else in mind, something like a shed or even one of the hangars she had visited as a child with her grandfather. However, what was there was a building with elegant lines, with his signature reproduced in giant form on the facade. As she parked in one of the spaces near the entrance, Charlie couldn't shake the feeling that she wasn't dating a normal man.
“I'm dating a national hero”, she thought to herself, as the two approached the reception desk, which was just inside the entrance.
— ¡Fernando! — the woman who was sitting behind the counter said, jumping up — ¡Que bueno verte!
— Buenos días, Isabel, me alegro de verte también.
— Te hemos estado extrañando por aquí, especialmente considerando lo mucho que te gusta pasar tus vacaciones aquí — she said
— Teniendo en cuenta que no son exactamente unas vacaciones, ¿verdad? — he replied, chuckling.
— Es una especie de vacaciones, no lo podemos negar. Por cierto, veo que has traído una visitante...
— Oh, sí, esta es Charlie — Fernando said, turning to her — This is Isabel, she's in charge of welcoming everyone here at the museum.
— It's a pleasure, Charlie — the woman said in heavily accented English.
— The pleasure is mine.
— Did you do what I asked? — he asked.
— Yes, we've closed both the museum and the circuit to you — Isabel replied, causing her to look at the driver a little shocked.
— Excellent — he said, before heading toward the entrance to the exhibit — Come with me, Charlie.
Walking behind him, she waited until they were far enough away before putting a hand on the driver's arm to stop him in the middle of the hall.
— Did you close the museum for us?
— Yes.
— Fernando — she said, in a scolding tone.
— The museum is mine, Charlie. And if I want to close it to show you everything, I'll close it, simple as that.
She didn't have time to answer him before he continued down the hall, crutches clicking on the floor. As she walked behind him, Charlie couldn't stop thinking about how insane the idea of closing the museum to them had been. However, when she finally had a good counter argument for him, Fernando stopped in the doorway of the great hall that housed the main collection.
And for a few seconds Charlie was out of breath.
They were the most different cars, from the different categories he had competed in. There were Toyotas, Ferraris, Renaults and McLarens, plus a multitude of trophies and helmets. Little pieces of an entire career, carefully placed there for admiration. However, Charlie's eyes were not on the objects, but on the man beside her. He was the one who deserved her admiration.
— Amazing — she babbled.
— What? — Fernando asked.
— You. You're amazing, Fer.
— And I thought you were talking about the cars — he chuckled as Charlie moved closer, her fingertips on his cheeks.
— They are incredible, but you are more — she murmured, before placing a delicate kiss on his lips — Much more, my love.
The next hour was dedicated to exploring every corner of the museum, with Fernando telling the stories behind each of the trophies on display, as well as the cars, letting her get into the Hilux he had used during the Dakar and the Toyota LMP2 car in which he had conquered Le Mans. After discussing technical aspects, they were passing the wall of helmets when the driver stopped in front of one of them, the only one whose visor was facing the wall, highlighting the back.
— Is there a problem, my dear?
— No, it's just — Fernando nodded — This is the helmet I made for the race in Suzuka.
Charlie looked at the piece in silence. In a shade of light blue, the design that surrounded the helmet was that of a garden in a style called ukiyo-e. In the back, she knew there was a samurai under a cherry tree, deep in meditation. She'd liked the helmet since the first time she'd seen it, as much as she liked the traditional version better.
— I ordered the design from Horiyasu, a very famous tattoo artist in Japan — Fernando continued — I always really liked his work, but I never had time to tattoo something with him, which is a shame. But the point is that I managed to convince him to make an art for the helmet and he drew the samurai sitting in the garden. But there's one thing I've never told anyone here.
— That is?
— This is not the original helmet.
Charlie blinked.
— No? But…
— It's one of the spares I had. The one I wore in the race is in Lugano.
— Why didn't you bring it here?
— Because it's yours — the driver said.
— Mine?
— It was always yours.
— Fer — she stammered.
— Didn't you notice the pattern of the hakama he's wearing?
Charlie looked at the helmet again, trying to unravel what was drawn. Bringing her face close to the glass, it took her a few seconds to make out what was drawn against the dark green background of the traditional shirt the samurai wore.
— Are these flowers?
— Roses. English roses, Charlie.
Her heart leapt in her chest. Looking at Fernando, she felt her eyes sting with tears.
— You didn't have to…
— Why not? — he asked, balancing on one of the crutches to bring a hand to her face — You are the most amazing person I've ever met, Charlotte. You are the light and color of my days, the person who keeps my feet on the ground and makes me float. My partner. My girlfriend.
— You never officially asked me to be your girlfriend, you know — Charlie smiled.
— It wasn’t enough for Maria to complain about it? — Fernando said, a laugh in his voice.
— She has an important point, my love.
— Do you want me to ask you, officially?
— I do.
He smiled, taking one of her hands.
— Well, Charlotte Elise…
— It's Elaine — she corrected him, laughing.
— You couldn’t have a normal middle name?
— Elaine is normal. By the way, it was my grandmother that chose it.
— Okay, moving on — Fernando said — Charlotte Elaine, do you want to be my girlfriend?
Charlie smiled.
— Of course I do— she replied in a choked voice, before giving the driver a tight hug — It's what I want most in this life, Fernando… um… What is it?
He laughed.
— I don't have a middle name.
— No? So it's just Fernando Alonso?
— Fernando Alonso Díaz. Alonso from my father and Díaz from my mother.
— That’s lame — Charlie muttered.
— I’d rather have two last names than a complicated middle name.
— Elaine isn't complicated — she snapped.
— Charlotte Elaine is complicated.
— It could be worse, my mom wanted it to be Irulan because of a movie she watched when she was pregnant, but my grandparents convinced me that Elaine was less weird.
— Charlotte Irulan Whitlam sounds excellent to me — Fernando said, seeming to stifle a laugh. She slapped his arm playfully.
— You really are a dickhead — Charlie said, before hugging him again.

Thoughts on the Olive Garden
Nothing earthshaking or resembling more than a sip of tea, but I found this Reddit user's comments to be interesting:
"I have some info on the house. It had a lot of issues when they purchased it and for Montecito, it's relatively low in price. I'm from SoCal originally and was in Santa Barbara for a friend's bday a year ago. We decided to go check out M&H's house - we both love looking at houses and were interested in M&H. What's interesting about what's fondly referred to as The Olive Garden is that we thought for sure it would be in a heavily gated community or an estate property where you wouldn't be able to see anything.
It's actually in a community with an ornamental gate, but anyone can drive though the neighborhood. Most of the houses in this little subdivision are pretty normal (for Montecito) - maybe 5-6000 sq ft on average. It's not some ultra exclusive enclave. There are tons of kids and families, just out for walks, playing with their dogs, etc. M&H's house is actually one of the few with security gates. Most are just stand alone house with a driveway live anywhere else. Both the gates and surrounding fencing are covered in heavy green tarps and there are literally at least 20 cameras in all directions on their driveway. They have one of those spheres with 6 cameras and then mounted fixed cameras everywhere. They do the ugly tarps wherever they go based on the Canada retreat photos. I had wanted to take a picture, but my friend wouldn't let me so we just drove by. I have a feeling they have committed the cardinal sin of real estate - you never want to be the biggest or most ostentatious house in a neighborhood. It's better to be the worst house in the most exclusive area.
The other thing about Montecito is that the people with the real money (Oprah, Ellen, etc ) don't live in subdivisions. They live on gated estates with massive acres of land set way back from the road, completely away from other neighbors. I was surprised how close M&H's house is to the common, everyday looking people. I would call this more entry level or tier 2 Montecito when the real trophy properties are 50-100 million plus.
I've heard that they have had plumbing problems because it was a newer house built on the cheap. The plumbing or sewage system has created an odor on the property. I am in the minority, but from the photos, I kind of like the Olive Garden. I like Spanish and the grounds with the pool, yoga studio, etc. Compared to Tyler Perry's truly tasteless La Quinta Inn new money mansion in on steroids, Montecito looks practically historic.
I can see them moving back to LA. I heard they compromised and moved to Montecito because Harry was not a fan of Beverly Hills (although it seems to have grown on him and Meghan, each with their alleged own hotel suites in the area at separate clubs/hotels). I heard they ended up in Montecito because the properties they really had wanted in Malibu were out of reach."

Thursday, October 26, 2023
I will not apologize for not updating the past couple of weeks because I have nothing to apologize for. I state that because I want to say that I am sorry for not updating! But that is silly! I took time off from doing school work these past two weeks because I felt overwhelmed and needed a break. My parents said it was okay to do so, and instead, I have been spending time journaling, practicing yoga, and going outside and walking in the wooded area of the park behind our house.
In the mornings, there are many older people who go out there to bird watch. I have gotten to know several of them, and they have shown me different birds and how they can recognize them. I will also walk with them sometimes. I think I have made new friends!
Keep in mind that taking study breaks is okay, and it should be normalized! Taking breaks when we need it is important for our overall wellbeing and can allow us to study even better once we have been refreshed. Spend some time out in nature, practice a hobby, do something you love, go to a museum for inspiration, and socialize!
In other updates for the past couple of weeks, we had another Girl Scout meeting and worked on a badge activity. We have two new members in our troop this year, which is very lovely! They are friendly, and I think we all fit together well. My dad is going on some sort of retreat tonight with the men at our church. He'll be gone until Sunday. I think it will be good for him to also have a break. He works hard. He's a law professor but he also works with a firm as a consultant and sometimes practices still, so he is constantly researching.
And this week at ballet, we get to dress up! I have a different "costume" for everyday. This week is always fun! We also have our showcase on Saturday, and I cannot wait! I wish Dad could be here for it, but he asked what I wanted, and I told him that I wanted him to have fun with his friends too and that he could come to our next performance. I meant that also. He is always at my events, so if he misses a few to do things for himself, that is okay. I want him to be happy also. Mom will be there, and that will be good enough.

What I’m Grateful for Today:
I am grateful that I have the ability to take breaks when I need it due to the fact that I am homeschooled and keep my own study schedule.
Quote of the Day:
When your inner child is not nurtured and nourished, our minds gradually close to new ideas, unprofitable commitments and the surprises of the spirit.

Ah dammit setting this in ABQ was a mistake. Now all I want is to go back to New Mexico. Fuck. And every time I drove down to Pueblo I’d be like “I could just keep going for another 3-4 hours and I could be in Albuquerque instead and wouldn’t that be better” (which I think is also what I told my mom when she told me she was moving to Pueblo after my brother graduated high school) (sorry Pueblo you’re fine but man. If the choice is Pueblo vs basically anywhere in New Mexico? NM wins about 85% of the time)
Also not me walking to the writing “retreat” this morning thinking “you know if it were Tucson it would already be like 85 degrees now and these jeans and tennis shoes would be unbearable… man I miss Tucson” completely sincerely and unironically
Scone, my sweet scone, pastry whom i love who has wanted so badly to live in portland again since he left in like 2014? 2015?, I am so sorry but I need both of us to get into industry to have the experience on our resumes and then I need us to gtfo of the PNW. Or like, I need to spend a significant amount of time in the southwest. Because after moving out of Tucson I didn’t *really* think I’d miss it being 105 on a daily basis but oh my god I want to cry because at least I could self soothe with good yoga and blasting AC and all the Mexican food I could stuff into myself. I miss the monsoon season and the truly oppressive heat that feels like you’re walking into a hair dryer. I miss people speaking Spanish. I miss all of the cafes and restaurants and all of my friends. I miss the saguaros and the lizards and the ocotillos.
I know it’s literally hotter in Tucson than it is where he’s living in Saudi Arabia and he hates it and arizona is his “anywhere but there” place to live, but… wah :c
#moving away from Tucson broke my fucking heart#if for some reason the worst case scenario happens and scone isn’t able to get here#I am taking a very long trip to Tucson#and then I’m taking a very long trip to Denver#I just want to live in the desert again :(#remember when we went to ten thousand waves in Santa Fe for MF’s birthday? :(((#ughhhhhggghhhhh#anyway I clearly need to stop filling up the romance novel Pinterest board with ~setting inspo~#all I want is good green chile#I want a bathtub full of green chile#I am so sad and so bereft of green chile

6 months and beyond
for the next 6 months, I will be dedicating myself to all things needed for my growth. I want to see how much life can change. I’m putting myself on a healthy routine, allowing some spontaneity to spice life up, but ensure that I stick to habits and work on projects that do well for me.
the habits and routines I plan to be consistent with for the next 6 months are broken down into several categories.
physically
- leg and arms 3x/week at the gym
- core and yoga 2x/week at home
- monthly hiking trips and swimming in the summer
- getting 7-8 hours of sleep per day
- snowboard 1-2x/month in the winter months
- eating whole foods, minimizing dairy, refined carbs/sugars and processed foods (80/20 rule)
spiritually/mentally
- 10 minutes of prayer and meditation everyday
- weekly learning & gratitude reflections via podcasting (in french)
- 1 hour a day of phone screen time (screen time for editing on my laptop is not included)
- daily review of my language learning (via anki cards/duolingo)
- reading before bed instead of using my phone
financially/career-wise
- weekly content creation on my preferred platforms regarding trips, lifestyle, spirituality, culture, languages, arts and self improvement
- improving my editing skills and creating a niche aesthetic for my content
future-forward plans (6 months and beyond)
- living with my grandparents in california for the fall, using it as time to focus; away from my family/friends here at home
- south east asia yoga/meditation retreat (next year)
- buddhist tattoo on my back while in SEA (next year)
- become conversationally fluent in spanish (within the year)
- live in spain, france or italy for 2-3 months (within 2 years)
- 7 day backpacking trip in patagonia/south america (within 2 years)
- establish a successful solopreneur, remote career (within 5 years)
with all this in mind, I know my life can change drastically in 6 month increments. I’ve already let 7 months pass by this year, and although it has included immense richness, lots of learning and emotional and spiritual acuity, I could sharpen myself a bit and especially develop my career practices.
other than that, having hit all my major travel plans this year (vegas, philippines, japan, montreal and oregon), leisure for me has been ever-present. it’s time for me to slow down and dive deep into what I need to build my life and create inner peace and fulfillment through my focus and vision. I’m so excited to delve deep into these practices and habits and see what what I can build. I hope I can look back at this post and be proud. I’m sure i will.

My Education Part 1 Every year I ask myself this question - who am I as a fitness professional, which direction I’m going to, am I evolving? When I start talking about my education I find it important to mention that I have MS in teaching the English language and literature to the Russian speaking people. My second diploma was BS in Business Administration, and I had 3 months to complete it and finish my thesis, I dropped off as it coincided with my moving to Mexico and back then moving to Mexico seemed more important to me. New country challenged me to seek new ways of working, in Ukraine I had only office jobs and as I wasn’t speaking Spanish at the beginning I couldn’t find an office job. Yoga helped me to cope with this challenge and also showed me the way. I started practicing and learning it more and more until in 2013 I got certified as a yoga teacher in India (500 hrs) and then in 2014-2015 certified teacher in Mexico (200hrs) plus started giving yoga classes to people in yoga studios and gyms in Mexico in Spanish. Along with the certificates I’ve visited yoga retreats and workshops all over the world. To name a few - my first retreat was with Guru Dev Singh in Mexico City, it was amazing meditation and deep dive into Kundalini yoga. Satnam Rasayan. Then I visited Florida, USA for White Tantra, India for singing meditation retreat, Colombia, Italy, Indonesia, and of course Mexico. I’ve been to gong meditation courses, aerial yoga, yoga healing courses, vinyasa yoga, Iyengar yoga, therapeutic yoga, aerial yoga, alignment yoga, yoga for runners workshops, etc. Follow for part 2 next week 😊 #education #yoga #yogateacher #traveling #careerchange #onlinefitnesscoach #fitnessprofessional #yogainstructor https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm_orl0rPEW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

i'm kind of glad for a breakup that feels truly soul cleansing, because it reminds me of all of the things that i need to focus on in my life besides love.
i am feeling so much better today after not drinking this weekend. i had a good therapy session, which reiterated that speaking to him would not serve me in any way. the only way out is through and onward, and i can only look forward, not back.
i had a delightful yoga class- i am really flowing. serena told me to put handstands on my 2024 vision board, which inspired me to go home and make my 2024 vision board. i am loving my transformation into a yogi, and i would love to go away on a yoga retreat at some point and really immerse myself in it. i want to get next level.
i want to open up my heart, soul, and brain even more than i have already done so. in 2024 i want to finally learn piano so i can sing along. i want to keep working on my spanish and french of course. i want to travel the world- brazil, then vietnam, then where this summer? croatia? bali? maybe a little tour around some new countries. i want to immerse myself in jewish life and learning.
maybe i'll even sign up for some other courses to learn. i could start working on the +30. i am running a half marathon in march, so running is getting added back to my agenda. i hope to read even more books, see even more shows, go on even more dates, and just do more of everything that brings me joy. i want to spend more time writing, and be so deeply focused on all of the light and joy in my soul, that i immediately shut down anything negative. i will not enter 29 feeling half loved. i either want the full thing or nothing at all. i am quite happy on my own, but i am ready for someone to join in on the fun.
