a little adventure

-
so I have been repeatedly told to take myself out on artists dates. These dates fill me with inspiration in my writing and photography. The first time I was told this I thought pfft no way do I need to go out, inspiration comes from within, well sometimes it does,but seeing new places, items,taking new photos, getting outside and hiking fills my soul with happiness. Yesterday I finally got off my couch. I am a full time college student and never have time, but this week I decided to do nothing. Oh my how good the nothing felt. No papers, no readings, no deadlines, nothing. So I took myself to the lake and then hiking in the woods. Both of these spaces fill me with such happiness and light that it makes me feel lighter inside. Though I have issues with this that or the other thing I rarely sulk. I move on, I seek happiness and yesterday with my toes in the sand picking up shells and then later hiking in the woods I found my happiness down in my soul again. It was a great day spent out. I got some sun. I drank tons of water because in Ga by 9AM it is hot. Both the lake and woods had such a nice breeze
yesterday. It was a slice of heaven. So wanted to share some of my day with you in photos. Enjoy!

    Looks like your time off was time well spent. Gorgeous photos which will inspire you for many months. But more importantly you'll be well inside, filled with the beauty you've encountered.

Mother's Day and the Sh*t show it will become. I AM READY!

                                             Mother's Day is coming in hot and my mother died.  This will be the first Mother's Day without her. My sister has plans that day, and I do not, but our hearts will be on Mom no matter what we do. There is no running away from grief.  Grief will fill our minds, and our hearts, and keep us focused on her passing away. Our minds will wander to her and wonder where she is in this vast universe. We will think of the last time we saw her, hugged, her, and talked with her. Grief will bring us back to her last breath. We will try to move on, move past, but you know what I have found out, that is BS. We all have our own grief walk to take. We all have our own correct path to move forward. I have thought about joining a grief support group and then thought perhaps not. I am not so sure I could listen to others about their grief. I am empathetic and know I would feel it all. Life has been difficult enough for me since she died. It feels like th

Love, Friendship, and the Sh*t we take because of it.

I have long known I am an empathetic person. I have always felt other peoples emotions deeply. Sometimes I wish I could turn it off, but recently I realized how much of a gift it is. I can hurt with them, I can share in the highs, I can be there fully for those who need me. I think it is a gift really. I might not always understand what the person has gone through, but I listen and feel the hurt down to my soul. It shakes me to my core and allows me to empathize with the person. This empathy is dangerous to me and my own happiness. While I feel other peoples emotions so deeply,I notice I feel mine even more. With every good or bad thing that happens I realize how much it resonates with my soul. It takes a tole on my body sometimes and that is not good. The definition of an empathic is this: of, relating to, or characterized by empathy , the psychological identification with the feelings, thoughts, or attitudes of others: a sensitive, empathetic school couns

This Lil Light of Mine

                                         Depression, Death, and many miles hiking.                                         One of my all time favorite state parks to hike in.                                                   Another state park in South Georgia As those of you know my mom passed away in November 2023 and I have been on the struggle bus since then, but then I look through some of my photos and I think about what makes me happy these days. Well, it is the outside. Walking outside. Riding in the car with the windows down, and inhaling air from anywhere where I am not confined by four walls.  I Feel better outside. With saying that, my allergies in Georgia do not feel better and hiking will award me with better mobility and a sinus infection, but my light shall not be shoved under the door, it shall not be ignored. I have been a mess. Every month on the 17th you can find me in a puddle on the floor and I am trying to move through it. Being outside and looking at something e
