C△R△ ST△TE OF MIND

Feeling a little cooped up, so I posted a photo journal from one of my favorite places I’ve ever stayed 💚 (at Crystal Peak Lookout) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-kOg8aApNl/?igshid=1xatdr6fvijbi

Hi friends, today is my 7 year anniversary of when I moved to the Pacific Northwest, and started calling Portland home. I know it’s a weird time to be a human right now, so I did a thing. I made an emotional support blog. Link in bio 💓 (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-dSWiJg6CW/?igshid=zn2va2zet42u

“She was the tide, always drifting in and out of the lives of those who loved her, eternally indecisive, unable to discern whether she desired the solidarity and safety of the land, or the wild freedom of the ocean.”

"There's so much more to life then finding someone who will want you, or being sad over someone who doesn't. There's a lot of wonderful time spent discovering yourself without hoping someone will fall in love with you along the way, and it doesn't need to be painful or empty. You need to fill yourself up with love, not with anyone else. Become a whole being on your own. Go on adventures, fall asleep in the woods with friends, wander around the city at night, sit in a coffee shop on your own, write on bathroom stalls, leave notes in library books, dress up for yourself, give to others, smile a lot. Do all things with love, but don't romanticize life like you can't life without it. Live for yourself and be happy on your own. It isn't any less beautiful, I promise."

You were wild once. Don’t let them tame you. #staywild (at Mt. Hood National Forest)

Drive until the mountains are within reach.

Good morning - I️ wouldn’t mind waking up to this view over and over again. (photo series link in bio) (at Acker Rock Fire Lookout)

If we wait until we are ready, we’ll be waiting for the rest of our lives. - Photo taken exploring Ackerman Rock Fire Lookout Tower a while back. Can I️ just live here? (Photo series in bio) (at Acker Rock Fire Lookout)

Danger isn’t the obstacle, boredom is. (at Boardman Tree Farm)

I’m a day dreamer and a night thinker - hanging out in the woods with @littlephotofox (at Boardman Tree Farm)

If it is still in your mind, it’s worth taking the risk. (at Ban Ao Nang, Krabi, Thailand)
