Captures how I feel visiting my hometown, Lake Arrowhead. It’s a place filled with nearly all the memories of my mom but also where they ended. Hard to imagine so much tied up into only 8 years there with her. That time seeing @thechicks and @jamestalarico came out! Had some wild weather while visiting the Badlands but my tent survived and I woke up to the most beautiful sunrise! All about it on the blog, link in bio. I walked past Silver Rail Elementary almost everyday while living in Bend as it was right next to my apartment. My heartbreaks for the community and everyone who has been impacted by today’s mass shooting. I’m not sure why we cannot do anything to try and prevent events like today. My love to everyone there. ‘The center of the universe is everywhere.’ -Black Elk a tiny gusbug and a kitchen rug he peed all over…I miss it everyday. @magnolia can you please reissue @target!?! My favorite place… As I’ve gotten older, the more I care about how I live my life on my terms and not what others think. Texas State Bison Herd call @caprockcanyonsstatepark home.
