Malorie

Life has felt so full lately 🥰✨ I ran a half marathon, turned 28, took a solo trip to the Ozarks, and got to spend time with so many people I love so dearly 💖

I am so not a natural athlete or runner, but for the last six months I woke up early to run before work like five days a week, just trying to build stamina and endurance. It was a period that taught me so much about self trust, consistency, and my own (limitless?) capabilities. And what a gift it was to witness fall turn to winter and winter to spring, just noticing the little changes every morning through biting cold and temperate breezes, greeted by birdsong and slowly but surely by the end of the training period, the sunrise 🌅

Maybe I’ll do it all again after the suffocating summer heat passes lol But for now, I want to take everything I’ve learned about myself and my body and stretch into it

The lessons life has taught me over the last few years have been invaluable and, quite frankly, constant! That’s the funny thing about life: there really is value to be derived from every little moment if you let yourself open up to it. I don’t always have the capacity for it, but I’ve been building it 💪

I am so grateful for all the love in my life, from others and for myself! May 28 be a year of continued progress, effort, and intentionality ✨
