i went on my first truly solo trip this weekend and it was a blast. i got a hotel in downtown pittsburgh and spent my time walking the city, stopping at cool shops i saw, finding local spots for food, going to a monster jam show at the arena, visiting museums and the botanical gardens. and wow! it was so nice to explore a new city completely on my own terms.
i’ve always been good at doing things alone (only child behavior) but for the past few months i have been the definition of crash out core, and i have just felt really lonely and pessimistic about life. i spur of the moment planned this trip for myself about a week ago because when i feel myself really slipping from reality it always seems the only thing that saves me is spontaneously doing something to feel like i have control over my life again. and boy! did i rediscover a piece of myself in pittsburgh.
life has its ebbs and flows for sure. but as i drift through my 20s, im trying my best to make sure i always feel secure in myself. i like being around me! as long as i have me (which is inevitable), i know i have the power to build a nice time for myself.
i fear i uncovered a piece of my heart in pittsburgh. a heart that shows myself way more grace than i have been lately. a heart that thinks i am a pretty awesome person who is worthy of pretty cool things and will cultivate it myself if i have to.
my solo weekend trip was great, and im very excited to do it more often

I haven't done this yet, but I'm about to and I'm sort of giddy about it! My high school? The Dairy Queen parking lot? The strip mall where I got stopped by a cop for 'not turning my headlights on fast enough?' The makeout point that abuts the grocery store? Good lord there's so much to see! Please understand these places made me who I am!! There's a whole part of me you haven't met yet!

current listen: dancing by Tru Tones
this is my first post on here and that's fun. I'm just gonna say it: I have been home for about 11 days, and I feel as though I have been here for much longer. Not in a bad way. just that time moves so low when it's extremely sticky outside (it's 87 degrees in Tanzania).
I have always been okay with being alone. But I also notice that when I hang out with my friends, I feel as though I might not be as much fun as everyone else while I am here. I don't club, but I love going to clubs (I shazam songs and like concerts). I don't drink for religious reasons. But when I think of how I want to go out to some places, I think, "Why not just do it alone"? But I am yet to do them. Idk. Anyway, maybe I will discover more of myself in the future. I thought I'd have figured out some aspect of myself at this age (24).
but what I do know is that I will make sure I try some things on my own. for sure. here's to doing something different for myself!

My candle, the one I use to connect with my spirits, melted like this... what do you think it means?
