portland specific post!!!! wee woo wee woo
I grew up here but somehow never spent much time in our largest park because my mom told me I’d get shanked. turns out it’s actually a normal and beautiful place that is perfect for laying down in or walking if you like that kind of thing. I’m not a hiker but I respect a good walk so I think I will be walking to the witch house someday soon. ran into a friend there yesterday while with other friends and it just felt very communal. good spot and you def won’t get murdered.

Aka my home (spiritually). My husband and I eloped in Portland and then drove out there. The most gorgeous, lush, mossy, ancient place I have ever experienced.

I grew up in the desert and was always so enchanted when we would drive a couple of hours to the mountain forests. I never wanted to leave! I moved to a little city that is surrounded by woods and has huge trees and beautiful greenery everywhere and lots of free natural parks with walking trails. There are woods behind my house where deer and other critters live. It makes me really happy 🫶 lots of waterfalls and a big lake nearby too.
I do miss the mountains a lot though 💔

this is my first post here so I hope I’m doing it right… but I went on a hike today and was reminded of how much fun they are!! also I am now very pro-winter hikes, because you aren’t nearly as hot during them. I thought it’d be too cold to be enjoyable, but it was surprisingly nice out. perfect PNW weather🌲🌥️🥾

I don’t always want to post them but I find that getting into the habit of taking lots of photos, good and bad, both with people in them and not, makes me want to keep them safer than just on instagram. that’s my emotional support folder… get away from her…

I’ve been very slowly making my way through the satoshi kon filmography (like very slowly,,, I first watched perfect blue three years ago) and honestly this one might be my favorite?? a found family film through and through, which I am a gigantic sucker for. three homeless people find a baby in a dumpster and set out on a quest to find her parents, no matter the result. I think I was more receptive to it because it takes place on christmas eve and I was already feeling fresh nostalgia for a christmas eve that had just happened a few days before… but I loved being in the world this film builds. a gross, hidden tokyo built upon the backs of small kindnesses. will absolutely watch again next year because I haven’t stopped thinking about it, wanting to return to that world for a few minutes.
