-I'm inspired by so much. This is my creative outlet, where I express my joie de vivre, wanderlust, thoughts, & anything else I come across.
-I do post some of my own work on here, but I make it clear when I do - everything else is reblogged or posted with a link.

Pretty bummed today due to the burial of a friend and personal demons in general…so I figured chocolate & espresso would be a good idea.
I’d heard about all of this Abercrombie crap before, but it’s really got my blood boiling right now. So without further ado (ignore if you want but it’s pretty important IMHO)…
Dear A&F, You are promoting low self-esteem and poor body image. Your company philosophy (bold and honest, I’ll give you that) will have a dangerous effect, especially on young girls. Not okay. Did you know that I don’t fit in your jeans, and I’m 5’11 and TOTALLY healthy?! Take a look at this picture. You want to tell me — and my friends, ladies of all beautiful sizes — that we’re LESSER? That’s we’re not “cool” (or “good-looking”)? First, I personally could care less haaahaaha. Second, “cool” is a relative concept. I’m pretty sure lots of people will agree with me that you are not cool.
But most importantly… don’t believe for a second that this is right. Promote positive body image. Teach girls to strive for healthiness but to love their bodies regardless — and not let these idiots mess with their minds! Teach them that their body is their body and all bodies are awesome. Inner strength&beauty: that, unlike A&F’s standards, is a real achievement.
P.S. Your clothes suck. “You’re tacky and I hate you.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiugwHIc_ug

LOL had to share this…
My dad just posted these photos he’s been taking of me since my arrival back from Tanzania.
They made me laugh out loud because they’re SO indicative of what my life has been these past couple of weeks: jetlag, illness, and food (& inability to successfully eat said food due to parasite). I DREAMED about these foods when I was gone, so I’m making up for it now, even though my body sometimes hates me.
Like, the top photo is me gorging on fruit straight off the plane…the change of diet had a serious effect, whoops. I just can’t stop eating now, since I ate such CRAP on expedition…lost weight on trek but I’m sure gaining it back now. #RaleighProblems #Fatty #YesIJustHashtaggedHehe
I am full of sparkle and compassion. I genuinely want to make the world a better place. I love hard. I practice kindness. I’m not afraid of the truth. I am loyal, adventurous, supportive, and surprising. I am a woman. I am enough. I make mistakes, but I own them and learn from them.
I’m ill again, welcome home yaaaay! But it’s much nicer than when I had D&V and could do nothing but lie in a hot tent.
On a side note, my thoughts and prayers are with Boston… It was bizarre arriving home to this madness - hadn’t learned about the marathon tragedy when I was out of touch for so long in Tanzania. I flew into New York and drove home past Boston as the manhunt happened…and found out what an impact this has had on my friends and neighbors. Very sad, but very proud of my nearby city. Boston Strong.
I’M BACK, MOTHA HUGGAZ
walk into the club like what up i got social anxiety
Yesss! I mean, I’ve had some good nights out. But it REALLY depends on the factors - the right bar/club, the right friends, being in the right mood, the right alcohol content… otherwise it’s social anxiety up the wazoo
Wut wut, wut, wut

-I slipped on ice a couple of days ago and I’m pretty sure I sprained my wrist. Welllllll fvck. Guess no more weight training in preparation for lugging around a heavy backpack :( I also have a sexy bruise on my derriere.
-Today was my last day at my full-time job (til late April) and I think I may get separation anxiety lol! My regulars were so cute. A couple of them gave me parting presents - see scarf in picture :)
-For the first time ever, I also hung out with a co-worker outside of work today! She’s new and super awesome.
-My emotions regarding leaving in 10 days are somewhere between ~limbo~ and peeing myself.
ME
