i love it. its perfect.

especially this part.

10. You are beautiful. You are enough. The world we live in is twisted and broken and for your entire life you will be subjected to all kinds of lies that tell you that you are not enough. You are not thin enough. You are not tan enough. You are not smooth, soft, shiny, firm, tight, fit, silky, blonde, hairless enough. Your teeth are not white enough. Your legs are not long enough. Your clothes are not stylish enough. You are not educated enough. You don’t have enough experience. You are not creative enough.

There is a beauty industry, a fashion industry, a television industry, (and most unfortunately) a pornography industry: and all of these have unique ways of communicating to bright young women: you are not beautiful, sexy, smart or valuable enough.

You must have the clarity and common sense to know that none of that is true. None of it.

You were created for a purpose, exactly so. You have innate value. You are loved more than you could ever comprehend; it is mind-boggling how much you are adored. There has never been, and there will never be another you. Therefore, you have unique thoughts to offer the world. They are only yours, and we all lose out if you are too fearful to share them.

You are beautiful. You are valuable. You are enough.

phone vomit

because my life doesn't feel interesting enough for words at this time.
or i lack the energy to add any detail to make it sound interesting.
regardless..

my life lately in pictures.

i love making things.

got my old friend back out.
me and donkey kong used to be tight.

i'm trying to get better at knitting.
if anyone wants to lend me their grandma..
i'd appreciate it more than you know.
knitting is hard.

we entertain ourselves at work.

solid joke.

"it looks like it hurts."
top knot/no make up days.

dove chocolate.

thanks for being inspiring.

i make bracelets.

bubble baths.
sooth my soul.
yes i took this while in the bath.
do you suddenly feel inappropriate?
good.

this is funny because
1. this is the cleanest my room has been in a while.
2. if you had to guess my age by this picture..
i'd be missing 10 or so years.

it started with a poncho

i feel really blessed with the people in my life.
after this post that statement may be interpreted as sarcasm.
its not.
i am truly truly blessed.
just look.

my little mexican cupcake.

my little sis is so great. at first they were dressed like 80's glam girls. stunning by the way.
she quietly snuck out of the room only to come back down the hall playing her guitar dressed like this.
i feel alot of love.

ps. coco you can't be mad at me.
