But months later, you’ll thank yourself for not giving up on the days that felt impossible.”

Spanish Word of the Day:✨ “Amanecer” (ah-mah-neh-SEHR)

Random Fact of the Day: 🧠 Humans are the only species that blush.

📝 Sticky Note: Most people will never get it. They’ll say you’re doing too much. That you need to slow down. That you’ve become too intense. But that’s because they’ve never wanted something bad enough. They’ve never paid a price that emptied them out just to do it all again. They’ve never stood at the edge and still had the delusion to say “I’ll Go Further”.

Spanish Word of the Day:

(mah-droo-GAR)

Meaning:

To wake up really early, often earlier than you’d prefer.

Castillo de Chapultepec in Mexico City is the only castle on the entire American continent that was actually lived in by royalty — Emperor Maximilian I and Empress Carlota in the 1860s.

It sits on a hill with insane views, and today it’s a national history museum.
