That time you realize you gave your ex-girlfriend your umbrella and out of all the things to be bitter about, that’s the silly one you fixate on.

I HAD JUST BOUGHT IT!

I’m pretty certain that #middleage has hit hard. I love me a good decorative wreath, and I’m very excited about my new vacuum cleaner. #eldermillennial #millennial

#hiking in the #bayarea. 1200 ft elevation gain, and my body is wrecked. Good training day, but tomorrow is going to be rough! #unlikelyhiker #fathiker #fitnessjourney

Didn’t want to go #hiking today. I was tired, sore, and stiff. But I went anyway. It was a beautiful evening, and I feel good about pushing myself just a little.

Today I did 996ft of elevation gain in 2.2 miles. Not the steepest, but the most I’ve done thus far! Next weekend I plan on climbing my first (small) mountain! #hiking #unlikelyhikers #fitnessjourney

My personal trainer is Black, genderqueer (AFAB), was fat (so they personally understand my body) and backpacks! It’s like the universe created them out of the ether specifically for me. They are excited to help me get to my dream backpacking trip in Patagonia!

Having braids changes how the world treats me. I get death stares and asks to touch my hair. When my hair is braided, they know I’m #Black, and that I’m leaning into my culture. In turn, they become bolder with their #racism. The election has emboldened their bigotry. #blackhistorymonth #braids

Watching #kendricklamar perform at the superbowl may be the highlight of Black History Month for me. I know it’s early, but god damn!

Going into surgery tomorrow to make my body inhospitable to implantations - feeling anxious. Statistically I’ll be fine.
