Rome Part 2: Ponte Sant'Angelo

01rome-pontesantangelo-bridge-travel-ootd

This is it! My FINAL post from my two-week adventure in Paris and Italy! On my last day in Rome, we caught the sun setting across the Tiber on Ponte Sant'Angelo. This ancient bridge, also known as Bridge of Angels, dates all the way back to 134 AD and is one of the finest surviving in Rome itself! It was completely packed with tourists but beautiful nonetheless... I don't really have anything specific to say except for the fact that this trip was life changing. No, I am not exaggerating. This trip wasn't really planned. My good friend Bryn told me she was spending nearly a month in Europe and I spontaneously decided to join her (for two reasons). One, I had just moved to LA and feeling out of place and depressed. Two, I have been in a really complicated situation this entire year to the point where I would find any chance to escape. This trip truly opened my eyes and heart to a lot of things. I gained back the confidence I lost and learned that at the end of the day only I matter, that I should be my priority. Life is short and I need to focus on my own happiness. Obviously, life isn't that simple and I still have struggles but I am definitely making progress. Anyways, I will end this post with a quote I came across recently that really resonates with me... "Whatever comes, let it come. What stays, let it stay. What goes, let go."
