travel blog, minus the bull$hit

Short late night post to unload my brain!

I recall many years ago when I was having a heart to heart with an old college professor of mine about my declining mental health and he told me:

Have you ever thought maybe it isn’t less life that you crave…but more?

It took me years to realize what he was trying to tell me. I spent basically my whole college life on autopilot just trying to graduate and survive in one piece which resulted in an unfortunate amount of benders during those days.

As I get older, I’m finally starting to realize and think of just how much more is out there for me. It truly makes me realize how much beauty I would not have been able to experience, how much sass I never would have given, and even how much love I never would have felt had I given into my demons as a teenager.

I’m coming off autopilot and I’m living more life.

This post is acknowledging my gratitude. My resilience. My grit.

I also just finished watching Physical 100 season 2 and am still living off that inspiration by how strong the mental will of all the contestants are 😂 my lil menty b’s have me dying my whole head of hair red and setting me on a war path!
