šSan Bernardino National Forest- so many great spots! doesnāt feel so arid as the rest of SoCal does which is amazing. I went to Deep Creek Hot Springs on a backpacking trip. That hike down to the springs was extremely hard and I wouldnāt actually recommend it, but driving through that area in general is so beautiful.
San Luis Opisbo- TV Tower Road is a little known free dispersed camping road that goes up a mountain. Car camping is perfect car because it does get windy overnight in a tent. Over 3h from LA but if youāre on a trip north its so worth it
Joshua Tree- but go to 29 Palms for cheaper camp sites. Iāve found great deals on HipCamp on ppls property. I love hiking and climbing the rocks in the national :))

Over the last few years, Iāve started to purchase DVDs at the thrift store whenever I find a favorite or one Iāve been meaning to watch. Theyāre always super duper cheap (Iām talking a buck a pop) and itās easy to check theyāre in good condition.
Now I can always have my fave movies and shows on deck because effā these greeding streaming services šš½

My eldest kitty Moose was rescued through a foster network I was volunteering with, he is a very good goofy boy and I love his little āantlersā on his forehead!
My youngest kitty Lady Bug (the space between āLadyā and āBugā is important as her noble title should always be addressed), is only a few months old but so brave and cuddly! Her little grinch hairs behind her ears are my fave.

In 2024, I experienced grief in all of its stages. Fundamentally it changed me - for better or worse? Iām working on that with my therapist.
I found myself listening to this song *a lot* throughout the year. Maybe it was the vulnerable and relatable lyrics mashed up with a uplifting melody, but something about the final linesā¦
*āIt's that little souvenir of a colorful year Which makes me smile insideā*
ā¦ always got to me. Hopeful, might be the feeling. Especially since itās the only point in the song that she doesnāt reference it as a terrible year. To me it felt like she wanted autonomy over how she wanted her song, her story on the year to end. She defines it, rather than it defines her.
You canāt control when grief happens to you, but you can control how you decide to navigate through it. Maybe, just maybe, I could look back at my grief and let it go.
