that was NOTHING like phoenix wright ace attorney 😔

Taylor and I lost our mom today. Words cannot describe what an inspiration she was to me. Her strength, passion, and commitment to growth have always been something I aspire to. No matter how low things got, she persevered and cracked jokes while she was at it. She was taken from us far too soon and had so much love to give the world still, but I know that my memories of her will reverberate through virtually every facet of my life. She was always so insanely proud of me and Taylor - as you’d know by looking at her Facebook for two seconds - and I just know by carrying her love, strength, and passion with us, we’ll keep doing her memory proud. I love you, Mom. Three musketeers always. ❤️

Not to be all hashtag fitspo but just wanted to take an earnest second to lore dump about my relationship with fitness, since it’s all over my stories. Like maybe five people know this at this point, but I spent around 4 years growing up being bounced around every hospital in Florida as doctors tried to figure out why my body wasn’t keeping food down or absorbing nutrients. I was rail-thin and kept on a jello diet 24/7, even on my 15th birthday. I had no control over my life or body, I had no community, I had no outlet except for my iPod. Good god girl get a grip, etc. I had had enough of those feelings by the time I got to college and immediately felt the difference when I decided to step foot in the gym. Not physically at first (zero idea what I was doing) but I quickly found that the gym was the perfect outlet for my emotions, provided routine to my chaotic life, and gave me a way to build both confidence and community. Since then, I’ve met some of the kindest and most supportive people I know, gotten much more in tune with my emotions, picked up some cool skills, and doubled my weight along the way. It’s taught me how much potential tomorrow holds and how important it is to always keep learning and improving. One day I’ll even learn to eat enough. I think a lot of people are scared of the gym because of scary straight men and shady circuit queens but it can absolutely be a place of support and growth on many levels. So give it a shot and I’ll see you at Quads! Swipe to see what a REAL twink looks like circa my hospital days.
