just finished college. in the passenger seat of my family car, my dad at the wheel. “life is a highway” is playing. I’m drinking an ICEE and eating a concha from the Vince Lombardi rest stop. thinking about the abundance of love I have experienced. all is calm, all is bright.

happy Easter! if your version of Christianity doesn’t uplift the dignity and rights of women, POC, LGBT people, incarcerated people, etc., ask yourself if you’re glorifying God or worshipping fear and ignorance!

when i was 13 i would repost the same photo three times, each time with a different filter... and no one would stop me.
kinda miss social media in 2012 where the concept of an influencer didn’t exist and everyone was using instagram’s premade filters and posting pictures of random shit like a handful of skittles or an overexposed sunset those were the days
