Happy birthday to my fuzzy wuzzy bear 🐻 who can spend one day playing Magic for hours at my kitchen table and another hiking to waterfalls in the wild! Hope you’ve had a wonderful #birthdayweek being celebrated as you deserve to be @j_rex_d!

#NationalSelfieDay but it’s from pre purple hair 🙈. My 10 year high school reunion is tomorrow in Columbia, SC. I haven’t been back to my hometown in ages since my parents moved away while I was in college. Excited to see old friends and see how the city has grown over the years! Hmu if you’re in town!

Find me on the Parkway engrossed in my latest hobby obsession, embroidery. Are you a hobby person? Do you get really into something for a few months like me? What is the latest hobby you got into or are currently in?

Thanatophobia is a form of anxiety characterized by fear of one’s own death. I don’t have a true phobia but I do have mini panic attacks every few months when I think about the bizarre fact that one day I will no longer exist. My most recent incident was yesterday. ⁣
⁣
Honestly, sometimes I’m ashamed. I feel like I should be “fearless” and trust God while living life to the fullest instead of hosting my fears of the unknown. ⁣
⁣
Scrolling through Instagram I keep seeing people ask under gorgeous landscapes or selfies in unimaginably beautiful places “how many days do you remember in the past year or even week?” It’s supposed to be inspirational (and a casual flex about their lifestyle) but it makes me consider if I’m utilizing my life on earth to its maximum potential. Because, as much as we’d all love to get paid to be influencers, or travelers, or world photographers, the economy wouldn’t exist without us. Our communities need you and your office job. You need your job to feed and house yourself and occasionally travel during your vacation days. Does that mean you aren’t maximizing this limited number of years we have? ⁣
⁣
We obsess over social media because we love sharing experiences and there’s nothing wrong with that. And yet, I bet you won’t be recanting stories of how many likes your post got to your grandchildren in your 70s. But you might remember the 2 years you worked hard saving up for a vacation to Arizona. Or the annual weekend spent with friends who shift their schedules to be together once a year. ⁣
⁣
So should I feel guilty for not remembering work days, or was my dog walk not exciting enough since I don’t remember it? I don’t think so. I don’t think we have to remember every day. I think we should strive for human connection. Be intentional with listening to your friends and learning about them. Seek depth in conversations & explore desires & dreams with your loved ones. Check in on family. Never stop flirting with your partner. Connection is worth the hassle of schedules & inconveniences & listening to a story you’ve already heard twice. You & I will die & I’m still scared, but the more I connect, the more I know we’re all in this together.

Need to pour more than just a cup of ambition this morning. I need a whole jug ☕️. Had a fantastic time at Cold Mountain Music Festival over the weekend but an air mattresses plus cold night air makes for a chilly night of sleep 💤. Pretty sure I napped about 5 hrs yesterday.
