  • Tumblr entry | May 30, 2012 “It amazes me how much a person can change in a short period. I’ve noticed this even in myself. People often connect the word “change” with a derogatory connotation. But this necessarily isn’t always the case. People are constantly discovering themselves, trying new perspectives, listening to various music, experimenting with new styles and growing more mature and comfortable in their own skin. So how is it that anyone feels they know enough about someone to make a concrete judgement on them? With any human being there is always room for improvement. I’ve learned to change myself into a more open minded person and remind myself that people may not be who they were a few months ago. We’re all trying to find our place. People are subject to change and a new perspective can be a positive thing in anyones lives.”
  • Tumblr entry | March 26, 2013 “Don’t you ever feel like you were born in the wrong place? And that the life you’re really meant to have is waiting for you over a 1000 miles away. And that if only you lived some place else you could have way more opportunities to do what you love and meet people that have the same outlook on life as you. I do. I feel like I should be in a house in Hawaii 5 minutes away from the shore. Taking underwater photos with marine life and surfing until the sun goes down. But as for now I’m here and I can only make the most of it.” In two weeks I’ll be on a one way flight back to Hawaii. I don’t think I’ve ever been more stoked or terrified of a season of my life quite like this.
  • I call this ~ DCP 2014 roomies reunited for a weekend of Christmas dreams in the big apple~ So incredibly grateful to have experienced this city for the first time with these two beautiful women. No exaggeration when I say this past week was one of the best of my life. Until next time, my turtledoves ♥️

  • Hey- You know that thing you can’t stop thinking about? The one you consistently daydream about and how much more fulfilling your life would feel if you just went for it? The one you somehow manage to talk yourself out of time and time again because it absolutely terrifies you? You should go for it. Get out of your comfort zone and challenge yourself. It’s worth it. YOU’RE worth it.
  • Most times when I sit down to write a caption for an Instagram photo, no matter what the image is, I always find myself in deep introspection. Racking my brain on how I can concisely share a thought from the heart but often thinking of ways to keep it from sounding too “preachy”. I feel like many people are out here online striving for the followers, “engagement”, likes, aesthetic feeds and monetizing on “influencing” others without having anything worthwhile to say. Personally, I even find myself struggling to share as authentically and deeply as I’d prefer out of fear of judgment. I noticed by following people on Instagram that are unapologetically themselves and have a message they’re passionately sharing about it encourages me to be more of myself online. A few of my favorites being @racheldavisofficial (her instagram stories are the realest along with her positive energy and beautiful art) & @fireandjoy (she writes the most relatable journal entries paired with beautiful imagery) | Who are your favorite REAL accounts that you follow?
