Sunday solo stroll ft. scrumptious seafood supper 🌞🫦

silly alliteration aside, yesterday was a really great start to my week. i fear this is my favorite time of year, the time change doesn't really bother me much since I get less dark before work and more light after; with the recent revelation that I probably do have SAD or some other biological sensitivity to sun deprivation, making a conscious effort to really be out during daylight has done wonders for my ability to keep my mood stable-ish.

i have taken to walking with my phone on me but not in my hands. perhaps the greatest part of downtown being so dense is that once you have the major streets and their parallels memorized, it's hard to get lost on foot. can't get stressed out by one-ways or traffic when i control my pace. i am very thankful i fought so hard and against many odds to make sure i could have the lifestyle changes i wanted. not having to drive every day is an amazing experience, i wish we had the infrastructure for everyone to get it more easily.

i walked 6.5 miles from home to Cabrillo and back over the course of like five hours, minus the 90min eating. my legs are a little sore but honestly it's my favorite way to keep active when i don't have any deadlines to meet. just moseying and dilly-dallying.

i did stop into a few local shops, especially around Paseo. i appreciate the nice conversations that sometimes arise from passing strangers despite soooooo many people being super comfortable hearing you greet them as you make eye contact, and staring through you like a ghost. it's such a weird, antisocial way to act and i have absolutely been calling people rude about it lately. we got too much going on to not treat each other like people, and if you're going to choose to be that way, i think you should be okay with it being verbalized sorry, not sorry!

i feel like the habit of spending time with myself is becoming easier every day. i love treating myself. i feel like i have been relearning who i am and i am becoming obsessed with myself again. i am gonna enjoy wherever this new energy takes me 🌀❤️‍🔥

Winter in California 🌞👙

shout out to the Hannah Einbender lookalike who said she liked my sunglasses as we crossed paths in our cars at the Carrillo underpass. u are the reason i ride with my windows down.

also super validating because i wanted the Rx sunnies to give funky chic millennial but still work in professional settings and resonating w a white lady in a big body car def hits that style intersection for me personally 🙂‍↕️

I fear I officially need a new bikini... my weight sits so differently on me post college survival stress. which is good! i am excited to see what i look like this summer after recovering from (redacted) and really getting back into the gym. i miss being strong and having muscles and a socially acceptable outlet for all the aggression I can't really put anywhere else rn.

related, roster dwindling to more of a troupe type situation but honestly whatever. i kinda cannot stand men rn (as if i ever did) and i have to go farther from home for the kinda women/queers i like so that's just gonna have to be back burner for a bit.

putting my feet in the sand really does make me feel better even if it's just an hour. sun on my skin feels like hugging a battery. being loosely/self medicated and exploring that with a Dr that prioritizes the feeling and processing and reconciling over suppressing symptoms has been wildly uncomfortable in a really great way. doing more, feeling more, talking more. trial and error is required for growth. i am less afraid of it now.

i am not tied to any past conception of myself, i am meeting me where i am in this moment, i am deciding where i want to go, walking with open mind and heart and arms 🌀 ❣️

girls night: wine & wagyu wednesday edition 🫦

making good on my plan to be outside and social and trying new things this year~ this week was tartare... if it's a couple bites or less I think I would be fine but i did send half of it back cuz it was 4-6 bites and that was a bridge too far, I fear, but we love learning about ourselves!

loved the food so much though... I'm gonna be thinking about this steak for the next two months (when i will go back for more, obviously). i will be a carbs and protein girl until i die.

the wine was good + plenty, by course 3 I had to ask for light pours bc it was not that kind of party 😭 shocked I made it to work (mostly) on time the next day.

feeling very live laugh love! very girl who is going to be okay! romanticizing my life one dreamy evening at a time.
