I have news, Josh and I bit the bullet and decided to go into debt together....we bought a camper!! We're picking it up this Saturday and for the most part, everything works and functions as it should and mainly just needs cosmetic updates (as far as we can tell). All will be revealed when we...

Havasupai: Friday, Day 1 cont’d
We're at the meet up, it's 4am and I'm internally struggling with whether or not it was a good idea to leave my nano puff jacket. It's funny the individual items we classify as worth the weight. One guy brings his grooming kit, equivalent to this other girl's makeup, my hammock or 1lb external battery... Continue Reading →
Havasupai: Saturday, Day 2
Can someone please turn off the moon?! I've never purposefully slept as early at 7:30pm before and I'm discombobulated as I rustle out of my tent to go use the bathroom. I see camp lights and thought man, people are up late! (It was only 10:30pm...ha!) I've mentioned this before, but I'm terrible with direction.... Continue Reading →
Havasupai: People of the blue-green water
I'm not feeling as reclusive as I normally have in the past few years around this time. I hope it's because I've been more aware and trying to grow constantly and consistently, but it might be largely due to my anxiety! I've been freaking out for weeks now as I prepare for this backpacking trip.... Continue Reading →
Death Valley
I should be clear that I'm car camping, not wilderness permit required type of camping. Baby steps! Also, I feel like I'm cheating, being on my computer at Death Valley. In all fairness, they gave me a wifi password sooooo.....hahah! Besides, I'm waiting for it to get darker, which is insane because the moon is... Continue Reading →
Strikhedonia: The pleasure of being able to say “to hell with it”
So I've been awake since about 2AM and running on 5 hours of sleep within two days. Looks like my insomnia is back. It's actually a good thing because I'm finally done packing!! I am going on a trip people!!! My second annual tradition of disappearing for my birthday and doing a "first". This year I'm... Continue Reading →
First Last Time
I hate when getting over someone feels like a tug-of-war. In one moment they're everything you miss and then you get your fix and with it rolls in the realty that you were toxic for each other. When I know I'm being dumb wanting to see them because it's obviously not going anywhere, but then there... Continue Reading →
Kiss of Death
i say it like a mantra in synch with your heartbeat, with my breath i love you. i love you. i love you. i say it with my caresses my fingertips tracing the words on your skin i love you. i love you. i love you. i say it with my eyes but then they... Continue Reading →
The Big Catch
I think I'm constantly on the fence about relationships. I tether on craving my freedom to wanting to share adventures with someone. I'm hoping that the idea of "the one" isn't actually a mythical creature and that finding them isn't as equally elusive as reeling in that big catch....although, it sometimes feels that way. "Glance... Continue Reading →
Hello Self
I'm reflective again as the year dwindles to a......close? (I'm reluctant to say end because it feels so sad and almost foreboding). I'm forced to reevaluate my self and more areas where I can improve. I'm also allowing myself a glimpse back to see the distance I've travelled and to remember the lessons I've learned....
