    Songs, lyrics, melodies - music is a magical thing in life. Certain songs can bring you back to memory, a moment in time instantly. We all have certain lyrics that speak to us more than any conversation we have ever had any book we have ever read. Whether good or bad the right song can change your mood in an instant.

    Quarantine Day 9-11: Looking Forward to Earth Hour

    March 28, 2020 /

    Quarantine is starting to get to me. I'm doing my best to try to keep moving and stay productive, but if I'm being honest with myself I haven't done the best job the last few days. I'm still not sleeping in really late, I'm usually up at least 10-15 min before 8 am, but I had been telling myself I would be up closer to 6 am. When I am up, I'm not being as productive as I should be and in all honesty I'm not even sure where the time is going. I haven't binge watched a ton of TV or spent hours upon hours on YouTube and TikTok.…

    Quarantine Day 5-8: I Befriended the Cat

    March 25, 2020 /

    It is the early morning of my 8th day in quarantine, which means I have officially completed my first week! Yay! In my first week I think I have done an okay job of keeping busy, continuing to function like a regular human, and not becoming a complete slob. I only slept in until 8 am once this week, every other day I was up by at least 7:30. I get dressed everyday, usually it is only workout clothes, but at least I'm not living in my pajamas. I've limited myself to only one 20 minute nap a day, and I try to make sure that isn't a daily thing.…

    Quarantine Day 3 & 4: My Mom Escaped

    I made the fatal quarantine newbie mistake and cleaned my house way too quick. Okay, maybe I shouldn't say "fatal" given the current state of things, but as I said in my Day 1 & 2 entry, I apologize for any inappropriate humor I may use. Anyways, as I was saying, I screwed up and cleaned my house way too quick and now I'm struggling to find ways to kill time.

    This was supposed to be my year, but as of this month shit has officially hit the fan, and for once it's not just a me problem. The world is in a really scary place right now. It was worrisome when it was happening in China. Things got even more scary as it started to spread across Europe. And now that the Coronavirus is here in the US, I'm not even sure my brain knows how to process all this.

Happy Birthday @imanthonymoreno 🎉 I can't belie Happy Birthday @imanthonymoreno 🎉 I can't believe you're no longer a teenager, this is making me feel really old lol. Anyways, back on track, getting to know you better and getting to be a bigger part of your life has been one of the best things to happen to me these past few years ❤️ You are growing up to be a very impressive, hardworking young man and I can't see what the future holds for you. In this coming year I wish for nothing but good things and great adventures for you (and for us I wish for more pictures lol) 💕 Love you kid!

It's starting to warm up here in SoCal, so it feel It's starting to warm up here in SoCal, so it feels weird to share a photo of leaves changing in Utah back in early fall, but this was the last time I was outside exploring nature and I'm dying to get back out there. I want to climb mountains and cross streams. I want to hear the birds chirping and the leaves rustling. I just want to get out of the house and out of my neighborhood.

I'm a few days off on this, but I am officially in I'm a few days off on this, but I am officially in my final week of my 20s. As I approach my 30th I've been reflecting a lot on this past decade and thinking ahead to what is to come.
It's really rare for me to post photos of myself, especially photos of me alone, and I almost never take selfies. I've never been big on that, but I've noticed over the years I've started doing even less and less. And over the past couple years I've even started avoiding being in photos all together. There are different reasons for that, but a lot of it does stem from my personal insecurities and that's something I really want to work on moving forward. I want to be comfortable in my own skin and proud of who I am.
Now I don't think posting a bunch of photos of myself is going to fix anything, but it is a start and a step out of my comfort zone. So I scoured all my photos (tried to stick to photos close to my birthday) from the past 10 years and found 1 photo from every year (2011-2020) of just myself. (Some years were even hard to find than I expected.) And even if some of these photos make me cringe, it's kinda fun to see how I've changed (and how I haven't).
