A little Background

As Edna Mode says, “I don’t think about the past, it distracts from the now” 

so I won’t go into too much background but here are the most basic of basics. 

I studied Archaeology and Public Health at UCSD so I love history and examining how communities are formed. If I could have triple majored, I would have added psychology but UCSD kicked me out after 2. 

I’ve done one archeology dig in Peru and have volunteered at the San Diego archeology foundation so I’ll definitely be doing some throwbacks of those events and hopefully, I can do more archeology in the future.  My focus was on rituals and ritual sacrifices. 

When I was little I wanted to be Lara Croft... 

.. but then I realized that I have no arm strength haha so I’m working on that now before I go climbing through temples.

As for the Public Health... in addition to being an explorer growing up, I also wanted to be a pediatrician but medical school didn’t really fit into my life. 

So I found a way that I can learn about helping people by altering their environment and their habits so we can all live healthier, happier, longer lives. 

I love to volunteer, paint, read, be active (i.e. hike, surf, walk around town), and make Snapchat stories that are way too long.  

Eventually I’ll be making some videos to put up here but for now, you’re stuck with my text *hehehe*

Digging up the past

“He kissed her. Not her him. He kissed her even though we’d seen each other the night before. He told me he loved me and that we connected on a deeper level. And yet he felt the need to kiss her. I knew you never get over the first person you love. Who better to tell me that than Isabel? She’s never gotten over Sam; a guy who manipulated her and drove her to try to commit suicide. And he kissed her anyway. She shattered his heart into a million pieces and who fixed it? Me. I spent weeks picking up those pieces and slowly healing him. And what does he do when he’s given the chance? He runs back to her. She destroyed him and he still loves her. I won’t deny it. You don’t make out with people you don’t want to and she’s his first love; that’s not something to take lightly. Why do I have to fall in love with him? I choose the one person who will never be able to deny a special connection to someone closer to me than anyone ever will be. I refuse to separate the two people I love but I cannot go through the pain again. I can’t be scared that there’s something going every time I look away. So its better to drop out now, before its too late. I guess I should be thankful it happened so early, I’m not sure if I could have taken it any later. And he tells me I’m acting cold towards him? Is that a fucking surprise? I put my trust in him, I’ve never done that; I opened up to him and revealed my insecurities, even the most painful ones regarding my own sister. And what does he do? He does the one thing that can really hurt me, choose my sister over me. Even if its for one minute, he chose her and then he kissed her. How am I supposed to react? Of course I’ll resort back to the ultimate defense mechanism: not caring because if you try hard enough you can fool yourself into believing it. I can’t express how done I am with people choosing between us. Then I’d rather have nothing, knowing that what I do have is truly and utterly mine. Fuck, I can’t wait to get out of here and start again, by myself. The loneliness and the fear and the isolation of being by myself in a foreign country will all be worth it if I come out my own person. I don’t even know who that is. God knows if I ever was truly myself.” (Jan. 2017)

Swimsuit Shopping | Calvin & Maya

@diggingthepast

The mall was a magical place! The sights, the smells, the sounds... Anything you could think of, there was a store that could grant your desire… provided you had the cash, of course. And right now, Maya needed a bathing suit! She gave a brief glance to Calvin, offering a grin. Turns out he needed to do some shopping for the upcoming pool party too. It all lined up perfectly—shopping was way more fun when you had someone with you. Her gaze travelled passed him, eyes lighting up when she spotted something nearby.

“I think that’s it!” Maya said as she pointed toward a display window exhibiting mannequins in bikinis. Without waiting for a response, she hurried forward, getting lost in all the different fabrics, colors, and styles in only a matter of moments. Her fingers grasped for anything that came within range of them, especially if they were bright or had interesting designs. By the time Calvin reached the entrance, Maya had already walked half the store in her flurry.

“Hey Calvin, look!” She could barely keep the laugh out of her voice when she cut in front of him, unfurling an old-fashioned full-bodied bathing suit, complete with the black and white stripes.

“We can get matching ones. ♥”

the things that hurt: (in no particular order)

your drunk texts told me nothing other than the fact that you miss my body but not my mind. i wanted to be poetry to you something you can appreciate even if you don’t understand it but instead you wanted me to be a comic book. i settled my roots into your back because i sensed security but you decided you never wanted a garden anyway. you say you value me but on what scale? am i gold to you or just the baseball trophy you received for participation? ‘i miss you’ flows free but the timeeffortenergy holds no worth. you ask if i think i am worth little to you and i answer ‘that is a loaded question’ because your actions have said ‘yes’ while your mouth spits out 'no.’ 'i can’t handle this’ but what is this? is it the commitment or is it me? -s.e.m. 3.19.16 #poetry #originalwork #diggingupthepast #sarahbeth #writing #love #hurt #stillgrowing #stillblooming #stilllearning #memories

diggingupthepast reblogged your post: hawksvane replied to your post: [ Tumblr really...

THIS HAPPENS TO ME. IT MAKES ME WANT TO BREAK THINGS.

[ Some people say to do ctrl + alt or alt and click reblog, but all that does for me is give a message about technical trouble and then the reblog button disappears altogether. ]

Old Tumblr post, dated: 10/07/09 - "I Want"

reliable transportation, my own apt, my sprint treo back, to get my hair done, a job, to play the piano, to play the drums, to play the harmonica, to play the guitar possibly, to tap dance, records, a record player, to get my nails done, to travel central America, to make a dessert that could be breakfast, to make a breakfast that could be dessert, to tumblr.com all day, to listen to blues all day, a tea kettle, a collection of tea, to be successful, to buy a dress, to buy a new pair of shoes, my zest/my zeal back, answers, to go home (yeah, still), to be more earth friendly, to go snorkeling, to kayak, to waterski, to rollerskate, to hit the alto on cue, to be more independent, to go to a jazz cafe, to have all jason mraz’s cds, a bicycle, to bike up harder road, a new pair of skates, to be a vegetarian, to want less and to do more.

<!-- end .text_body --> 10.07.09

Bought a Scion Xb November 2010,  working with a newer Palm device - the Pre, trying to keep the hair and nails natural, I have three jobs, no to the instruments listed but yes to the unmentioned ukulele, I spend adequate time Tumbling, the tea kettle was purchased and quickly lost, I'm stocked up with French Vanilla tea bags in my purse, closet full of dresses and shoes, zeal/zest is here for the most part, I'm most definitely home, rollerskating.. always, alto comes and goes as it pleases, definitely more independent, found a neat jazz cafe, biking quite often, and Jason's all over my ipod.

Just regard the unaddressed as my to do list. ;)
