I've been told I'm a composed person.

clearly, they haven't seen me hold a dog.

met @alyssagagarin's lil @bucatiniweenie and I've essentially won Friday 😭

♎️I can feel Libra szn approaching bc I'm vibing with all the little things in nature + light, witnessing displays of human connection + love got me in some major feels, I'm all emotionally aflutter over all the little things in life, and I'm feeling everything reaaaal deep right now.

also PMS-ing, so it could just be hormones too🤷🏻‍♀️🤣 #realtalk

🍁today is the first day I smelled fall, so I'm on crunchy leaf watch now 👀🍂tell me your fave fall tings👇

𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀, 𝘄𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗴𝗲.

I didn't choose the genetics that lay the foundation of your frame.

I didn't choose your little quirks or scars that came with growing a little faster than I expected.

I didn't choose having to stand up for you when other people threw cruel words your way.

I didn't choose your sudden midlife crisis you took out on my immune system that completely changed my lifestyle.

𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘆, 𝗜 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀.

✧making nourishing food for you.
✧eating delicious + sometimes not as nourishing food for you.
✧cherishing the gift of movement you give me.
✧letting you rest + not push you so hard all the damn time.
✧not shaming you to myself or to others.
✧no longer forcing you to wear clothes too small for you just because of the size number.
✧telling you I'm grateful for you.
✧choosing to love you, even on days when I don't like you very much.
✧not letting society tell me how much I get to love you bc of what you look like.
✧constantly reminding you that you're enough + actually pretty damn awesome.
✧embracing you through all your evolutions in life.

where to find me at the party?

ALWAYS by the food💁🏻‍♀️and it was so good this time that I had to *strike* 🎳a pose with my #PaneraWarmGrainBowls 🤪

seriously am so happy that @panerabread came out with these grain bowls, because they're such a wholesome option that I make my version of at home, but now can grab on the go-- plus, their Baja bowl was 🔥and they made it dairy-free for me 🥳

I may not be in Italy anymore but my body is still waking up on Italy time and wanting pasta by noon. so here is a picture of Portofino, because that's clearly where my mind is 🤪
·
on another note, I kind of can't believe it's mid-September already and I'll be completing another year around the Sun in less than 2 weeks.

in some senses, it feels like life is flying by way too quickly lately, but I am actually quite proud of myself for how present I've been feeling and for how much I'm boldly leaning into the happy joys lately. I used to only feel a diluted version of joy because that's all I would let myself feel; for fear that it would hurt all too much if it were to be taken away. I'm glad I've decided that's not how I want to live my life, because life's joys are really something when you let yourself soak it all in, in full.

so while life feels like it's speeding by, it no longer feels like it used to; as if it were whipping around my head, too hard to even recognize moments before they flew by.

it now feels like hugging the good stuff, and being okay with letting it go because you really felt that real hug, and you are choosing to trust that there are more embraces coming.

this was one of the things I wrote down sometime around 7 years ago, during a particularly hard time as one of the reasons why I desperately wanted out of my eating disorder; the freedom I yearned to experience + feel, because everything good in my life seemed to be marred by the suffocating hold my ED had on me.

every time I get to do something like this, this time being getting to go drive a boat with my best friend around Lago di Como (what?!) and it's an unencumbered experience, I am increasingly thankful for my 23-year old self who finally admitted she couldn't do this alone after trying for nearly a decade, and went to therapy.

it didn't just take away the toxic cloud that was my ED. it GAVE me the keys to unlock all the best parts of me that allow me to do a lucky, healthy life justice-- by living and feeling every bit of it❤️
