A major moment for me: I had the honor of meeting the incredible @irenebedard 🩷

Pocahontas has been my favorite Disney film since it was released, when I was just three years old. The story and message, the colors, the music... All of it captured my little toddler heart, and today, some 31 years later, it still has not let go. I had all the merch: the bedding, toys, books... you name it. That hasn't changed, even today: two of my purses feature Disney's Pocahontas and/or Meeko, my wallet (pictured) does as well, and I have plenty of other memorabilia alongside those items, too. I was the girl who, at around four years old, when my family went on a trip and I saw a statue depicting the real Pocahontas/Matoaka, I held its hand and cried, thinking I was truly meeting her.

This movie has done many things for me throughout my life. As a child, it ignited a desire in me to learn the true history and story of the REAL Native woman behind the movie's inspiration. As an adult, I realize it also taught me a respect for nature, for learning true history, and especially for loving one another, alongside our planet, and all that inhabit it. The lessons learned from such a young age have been carried with me in all that I do, and I owe that, in part, to the talent behind movie's spoken words.

Irene, you are a treasure. Unbelievably kind, welcoming, and joyous in a way that I have no words to express. I am so grateful to have met you and had the chance to share my story with you, and even more grateful for your kindness and encouragement towards me. Thank you. 🩷 by @jessfindsjoy

Feeling like one lucky outlaw today!

To Rob: Thank you for everything. You are one of the kindest, most generous, and definitely funniest people I have ever met, and I'm so thankful for your words of encouragement today. I promise to get my head out of my ass and finally beat the games 😂 Thank you so much for your work, your words, and your generosity. (And I meant it when I said I'll happily volunteer if you need an extra hand for your streams, or anything else!)

To Benjamin: Thank you for everything. You're one of the most genuine, kind, and truly thoughtful and compassionate people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. You told me that my story will stay with you, but it is your words of encouragement to me, sharing how stories connect us, and you taking the time to talk with me about everything, that will stick with me for the rest of my life. Thank you, truly. 🩷

If you know me, you know how much the Red Dead Redemption series means to me, which means you can likely imagine how unbelievably grateful I am to have been able to meet the incredible talent behind John Marston and Dutch Van der Linde today. I truly can't speak enough to how deeply this entire story, and especially these characters, have impacted my life. Thank you, Rob and Ben. Truly, from the whole of my heart, thank you.

An excuse to share another picture from the day I met some of the BG3 cast? Don't mind if I do 😌

Happy three year anniversary to the game that changed my life. This is one of those rare gems where you know during your first playthrough, that you'll one day wish you could experience for the first time all over again, and it's true, I've wished for it ever since. As soon as the credits finished rolling that first time, I was already making my second character. And now, some 10+ playthroughs later, I'm STILL discovering new things, experiencing new scenes, and falling more in love with this game and its incredible story.

Thank you to the entire cast of the game: writers, directors, performers, developers, artists, and all additional crew alike. You all created something that has changed and saved lives, mine included, and I will be forever grateful for that. 🩷

One week ago, I had the incredible opportunity to meet @timdownie1 @neilnewbon @devorawilde @maggiethebard and @blue_owlz_medic 💙

I don't have the words to explain how much this experience meant to me, let alone how incredibly KIND they all are. I truly think you won't be able to meet a kinder, funnier, or more supportive and understanding group of individuals. If you have the opportunity to meet them, take it immediately!

Thank you specifically to Tim, Neil, and Devora, for the kindness, compassion, and encouragement you showed me. The things you told me and the support you showed is something I will never forget. It truly means more than you'll ever know. 💙

Baldur's Gate 3 is my happy place. It honestly changed my life. The story, the characters, the themes, the soundtrack, the art... Everything about this game is just perfect to me. It has brought me comfort, healing, vulnerability, and a sense of being seen like no other piece of media has ever given me before. It was these incredible actors who brought some of my favorite characters of all time to life, and I owe them, and the writers, so much for that. I will never have the words to express my gratitude. Thank you, thank you, thank you. 💙 by @jessfindsjoy

Here's to 33 ✨

Honestly, I never thought I'd make it this far, but I am so very glad I did. Life is all over the place right now, but there is still joy to be found in each day. I'm very grateful for the chance TO experience more days and have the opportunity to find more of those joyful moments in each of them. 💛

Take care of yourselves, and remember you are so loved 🥰 by @jessfindsjoy
