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.

Froze 🥶 my butt off at the beginning of the month, but the community we stayed in was adorable, especially with a fresh dusting of snow ❄️

Stumbled across this photo while writing my latest blog post (link in bio). This photo was taken right around my 20th birthday and this is the exact type of attitude and energy I want as I enter my 30s 🎉

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).

It's been a really rough week. On Monday I finally got to return to work and after two weeks of barely moving, walking and being on my feet all day really took a toll on me. I knew my recovery wouldn't end just because I could leave isolation, but for someone who has a hard time sitting still this week has been a real challenge, not just physically, but mentally as well. I need to keep reminding myself to listen to my body and that it is ok if I can't get as much done in a day or a week as I'm used to. As long as I keep moving and keep improving, that's all that matters.

I haven't been able to leave the house for almost two weeks now, but I saw there was snow on the mountains so let's just pretend this photo isn't a year old ☃️

Flashback Friday with my all time favorite picture

Flashback Friday with my all time favorite picture of the family's personal New Year's Baby 🎩
Happy 18th Birthday @bronah_castro ❤️ I can't believe you're already 18, in my head I think you'll always be the sweet little boy that just wanted to watch Spongebob, play Minecraft and eat peas and spaghetti 🍝 Over the years you've gone from my punk rock baby that would tolerate listening to Green Day on my bed, to my Sour Patch Kid who was always "sour then sweet" and then you were the adventurous jungle boy climbing barefoot through Hawaiian jungles. But no matter what, through it all you've always just been Jonah Scott, the sweetest, kindest, most caring kid I know. You didn't get to spend nearly enough years with my dad, but I know he would be so impressed and proud of the man you're growing into. I know I am 🥰 Happy Birthday Jonah 🥳
