Cadmium orange and Mars brown 💗
What do I like to do on my day off:
i love sleeping in (to 7:30am usually bc my body naturally can’t sleep in lol), spending time outside, grabbing lunch with chris or a friend, grabbing coffee, reading. little things!
What’s a movie that always puts a smile on your face/makes you laugh?
I don’t really have a movie in mind, but putting on Friends always makes me giggle. It’s very comforting to me!

just dropping in to say that I miss your posts. I'm sure a lot of the negative comments you were getting were part of the reason you decided to stay off tumblr and i totally get it, but just letting you know you've got some positive followers out there!
i don’t know when this was sent by whoever you are, thank you for the kindness!🧡🧡

my soon to be home. logged back into tumblr and was feeling nostalgic about documenting little snippets of life on here. might continue to do so, and also realizing that i don’t need permission to hop on and off this website and there’s no rules!
#hi again#flag#my mountain dreams are coming true and also i’m so close to being an RD#myposts#we are both fully vaccinated!

you are allowed to be proud of the victories that no one else can see. like showering without completely hating your body, not breaking into tears at the thought of the future, talking yourself out of a dark mindset, calming yourself down in public, or like waking up every single day and choosing life. be proud of the progress no matter if it is visible for others or not. you’re doing great, keep up the good work!

wow, long time no talk! i removed myself from tumblr during summer because the last thing i thought i needed in my life was more time on my phone/computer. still feel that way, honestly. but also, kind of missing documenting snippets of my life. i hope everyone is healthy, safe, and surviving as best they can. if anyone is interested, there’s not too much going on with me. it’s been a very hard season, but i feel kinda eh saying that because i know so many have it harder and i have many, many privileges. that being said i kind of want to document something from this time, so here’s a little recap:
-finished my last fall semester of undergrad, soo close to graduating this spring. which feels a little off if im being honest. being a student during this time has been really hard. and it has been extra difficult living in a tiny apartment with one room and no options to go anywhere, but i’m making it work and gettin’ through it.
-i am applying to dietetic internships and grad school currently to become a registered dietitian! i can’t believe im soo close to having that be a reality. my dream! again, definitely is not the experience i thought it would be, but isn’t that just the theme of this season? very nervous about how competitive it is, but really just trusting what will happen is supposed to happen.
-i’m still working at an eating disorder treatment center and learning so so much and loving it. it’s extra nerve-wracking working in healthcare right now, especially in person, but i am very grateful and counting my blessings to be working and have a job. and i am very appreciative of all the health care workers working their asses off currently!
-i spent christmas away from my family for the first time in my life and it was extremely sad. i know i am not alone in these feelings and i see you and feel for those of you in similar or worse positions.
-i recently fell on a run and am now in a boot. flashback to my highschool days, im sure i have reeeally old pictures on here of it somewhere. full circle. trying to make the best of it.
-chris and i recently experienced heavy heartbreak losing a friend to covid. not something i will share the details of here, but im just sending my love to anyone who has experienced the loss of a loved one this past year or really ever.
didn’t mean to end this on such a negative note, but i hope you all find some little joys in life. i don’t know if ill be on this website much, but to all my friends, i see you and love you and hope you and your loved ones are safe.

hopping on, to give a quick little leave of absence**
i haven’t been on tumblr for a while and won’t be for the forseeable future. i felt i wanted to share that bc i have met some incredible humans through this site (who i hope to keep relationships with through other means like instagram and text!)
this space just doesn’t serve me at the time being and i’m trying to minimize my usage of media platforms. i won’t be deleting my tumblr but just won’t be active.
i’ll talk with y’all who i know and love on other platforms, as i stated before. so please feel free to reach out via instagram!
thank you, friends🧡

Highly sensitive people are too often perceived as weaklings or damaged goods. To feel intensely is not a symptom of weakness, it is the trademark of the truly alive and compassionate. It is not the empath who is broken, it is society that has become dysfunctional and emotionally disabled. There is no shame in expressing your authentic feelings. Those who are at times described as being a 'hot mess' or having 'too many issues' are the very fabric of what keeps the dream alive for a more caring, humane world. Never be ashamed to let your tears shine a light in this world.

in some capacity, you are loved. someone loves the comment you made on their dress, someone loves the way you smile, or the way you laugh, or the way you say a certain word. when your name is said, it is never met without some sort of love
