On the 28th of November 2011, in a basement ecology laboratory, my now-fiancé Scott kissed me for the first time after a praying mantis from his project jumped from his hands to my head. 5 years later, the animal trend continued as he proposed to me with a live penguin, Kevin, who was wearing a bow tie saying ‘Marry Me?’ at Long Island Aquarium in New York. Now, I’m moving to New York where he lives. I sent him the star map as a reminder that we’ve been through so much, but it all started with a kiss in the most ridiculous of situations
Okay. So I’m short, I have big hips, big thighs and a large chest. Doctors say I’m overweight and need to lose weight. What do I say? Fuck em! I am healthy, confident and eat well. I do not need ANYONE to tell me what I need to do or need to feel. YOU don’t too. Everyone is different. Love who you are ❤❤
making sure to eat a very hearty breakfast before a busy day of uni and appointments – I’m seeing a naturopath this afternoon, crossing my fingers she’ll be able to help me improve my immune system and sort my bod out a bit. Anyway, for breakfast I’m having two slices of sourdough toast with avo, lemon, salt and pepper, and a protein smoothie made with @whitewolfnutrition iced coffee protein powder and @superfeast medicinal mushrooms – SO DELISH! ☕️
“I learned the hard way that I cannot always count on others to respect my feelings – even if I respect theirs. Being a good person doesn’t guarantee that others will be good people. You only have control over yourself and how you choose to be as a person. As for others, you can only choose to accept them or walk away.”

reminder that being suicidal is a SERIOUS problem. i know this website has normalized the idea that having suicidal thoughts isn’t something that requires medical attention, but i promise it is and if you’re frequently having suicidal thoughts then it’s crucial for you to seek help.
