My longest life dream has now become a reality. I can’t believe that this is happening! The first few days here have been an absolute dream. It’s better than I expected and I probably won’t want to come home when it’s over! I want to cry lots of happy tears!

For those that don’t know I decided to volunteer/ intern at @zacheetahconservation . I love what they do for the cheetahs and other animals on site. It’s a non-profit endangered species breeding centre that takes in local rescued animals🩵 taken in Cheetah Experience by @cheetahmalia

💛Explanations below💛

The standards you set for yourself represent you. It’s important to think about what you want for yourself before going throughout your day. It has helped me with direction and purpose. You should make a list for yourself🫶🏽

💛Don’t fall for peer pressure if I won’t enjoy it💛
I feel like peer pressure can be both really good and bad. I’m thankful for people who have pressured me to come out of my comfort zone! Yet at the same time there are things that I would never want to pressure myself to do. This is why I’m always thinking to myself “Is this just out of my comfort zone or will this hurt me in some form?” I use to be pretty bad into giving into peer pressure but luckily I have been surrounded by amazing people who haven’t pressured me to do terrible things. One thing I did that I now don’t do is high cliff jumping. I really don’t enjoy it. Also I found out the hard way that, because of my blood disorder, if I jump from things higher 35+ ft high, I’ll get bruised. No more for me please:)

💛My mental health comes first before my school and social life💛
Look, I have really bad FOMO. So sometimes I push myself harder than I should. I’ll get disappointed in myself for skipping class or not hanging out with friends. That’s why I’ve learned and set this boundary for myself. It’s ok to have time to heal. Just like if I had a bad fever, it needs to be treated before I do any activities.

💛Don’t swear at home or anywhere💛
Even though this is something that is pushed for in my religion, I set it because it does make me happier and a better person. I’m afraid if I start to let myself do it here and there that it will slip out at in appropriate times and possible hurt a relationship more. I want to restrict harsh words and have more kind words represents me.

💛Don’t force friendships💛
This one has been so hard for me. I feel like going to college was hard because I realized I didn’t really know how to make friends. I have been lucky enough to have the same friends I found as a little 5 or 6 year old. There have been a lot of times that I have tried to be friends with people but… (Next 💬) by @cheetahmalia

My beautiful friend @ockeydockey did this post and I loved it a lot so I’m doing it myself.

I don’t want anyone to look at my life and be jealous and think that I’m having a perfect life. I will be honest, I have never been better than I am right now but that doesn’t mean that I’m not struggling with anything.

I’m also not putting this out here for people to feel bad for me. I want people to not feel alone with their struggles. Everyone is human and goes through hard things. I want social media to become a place to help people not feel alone.

Since I’ve struggled so much with feeling down on myself, I’ve turned my instagram into making me happy. I put my happy moments so when life is hard and rough (or I think it is) I can look back and realize that everything is good. That I’ll get through it and that life doesn’t suck.

Just know that you’re not alone if you struggle🫶🏽

Happy Sunday:)
I was just thinking about the details put into every animal on earth and how unique and fascinating each is. It’s incredible how each was designed for survival and how diverse each organism is. Each species is a little (or big) miracle. The world is full of life if you look around you more often:)🐦‍⬛🪲🐍🐠🦭🦬🦡
