It’s going to be a good one, I can feel it. 2018 filled me with So much adventure, love, growth and pain. From solo trips to Thailand, experiencing the Muay Thai culture and finding the fight in me again, to making new friends and chasing storms on dune buggies in the Dominican Republic. Celebrating Makayla’s Sweet Sixteen and Emma turning two! Hosting Grampa’s 80th Birthday to losing him a few months later was the hardest thing my family has ever had to go through. Having someone come into my life when I least expected it who makes me smile every day and feel beautiful inside and out. Being blessed with a double rainbow during what felt like a dark storm when my two beautiful nieces were born. To finally just strengthening so many bonds between friends, family and God. I am so thankful for everything 2018 brought me- the good and bad, because I feel so brave and strong going into this new year not as a new person, but a better one.

Midoriya: I relate to Belle because she loves to read books and loves people for their souls.

Aoyama: I relate to Tinkerbell because she needs attention or she dies.

Today we lost our rock. As hard as it might be now to accept this- Grampa, you accepted that it was time to let go and left peacefully in knowing that your children will stand strong together- brave and united, and those you care about will be taken care of. You left your grandchildren with an abundance of love from you and wonderful memories we will share with each other. A few days ago I saw a moth, a symbol to our family of our beloved Grandma Silena and I had a feeling she was taking you home. I quickly brushed that thought aside as I know you Grampa- you’re so strong and there was no way you were going anywhere. Today, Grandma Silena has guided you safely home. May you rest in paradise Reuben Rasheed. My Grampa. My Angel.💚 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnz-C-6HAhJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19w4aegl5kqb8

if you find bones in the forest, sit a bit and listen. they are old and have some good stories to tell. maybe they’ll teach you a spell or two, or explain where the water on our planet came from.

if you find bones by the ocean, run. don’t look back. run, faster, faster. the sea may love you but there are nights where she knows neither mercy nor science, and the bones warn you only once.

I’m sorry but homophobia and racism aren’t opinions

For the past three years, I’ve been training in Muay Thai. I may not be the best but I love it. What some of you, many of you, don’t know is that in August 2016 I sprained my spine from my neck to my tailbone during a gauntlet. I had been training for months to be able to demo that month. When I didn’t get a match, I decided to go to the doctor. They told me I wouldn’t be allowed to train for 6-12 months. There were days I couldn’t walk or stand for too long. I pinched a nerve and my Mom had to help me up the stairs. She rubbed my back every night. I put her through so much but she always supported me. A few months later, my cousin Makayla invited me to a church service, naturally I didn’t want to go but I didn’t want to disappoint her. When it was time to go, the amount of pain was so intense I thought I wouldn’t be able to. But I did. And I am so happy I did. That night Pastor Nathan called out for a healing in the audience. Behold, the first thing he says is- it’s some kind of sports injury, I feel it in my tailbone. I broke down because I knew those words were meant for me. God is so good. That night I left that church with ZERO pain in my body and knew TICC was where I needed to be. Today, I embark on a new journey. I have feared training as much as I wanted to because of this injury. I’ve landed safely in Thailand, seeking out to find myself again and revive my passion for Muay Thai. I’m terrified to be here solo but I’m not alone, God is with me and that gives me strength. I can’t wait to explore and relax but also to take what I learn from the training I do here and apply it when I get back to Southside. (at Bangkok, Thailand)
