I fucking cried in my bathtub today. I mediated on what there was to be thankful for this year and I struggled. Overwhelmed, negative and silly. The beginning of the year I spent a lot of time crying in that bathtub. The year had reduced me to beliefs that I ruined everything I touched. That no one thought good of me, I was alone and just used for a good time or fun. That I was but a burden and everything wrong was my fault. I was pushed to believe that the world was much much better off without me.

I’m fucking thankful. To actually believe that my existence was dependent on other peoples judgement of my worth is a terrifying co-dependence of a different caliber and oh how I folded.
I’m thankful for the hurt, it showed me what needed healing. I’m thankful for the tears because it shows me I care. I’m thankful for my weakness because it surrendered me to vulnerability and honesty with myself.
I know a lot of people need to hear these words this year. I know a lot of my friends need to hear these words these last couple of days.
We cannot change the past, but we can lean into the hurt, find sunshine in the strife. Not because it wasn’t hurtful or bad, but because it’s how we move and heal gracefully. Life never stays the same, though we wish it so badly at times. We can only pick ourselves up, grow and learn and carry with us what we can, for we cannot hold too much. And that’s okay. Our friends are here to help us with the things we carry, when it gets too heavy, when we start dropping things.

Words cannot express the gratitude I have for the people that picked up what I dropped.
Im not an island, I’ll never be fully healed, I’m not perfect. but I am humbled and in awe of this year. I do not hate, I am not angry, but instead attempt to understand.
I got where I was because it was I who believed the negativity that was fed to me.

I fucking cried in the bathtub and today was an amazing day. I’m thankful. I’m thankful and excited to prove myself wrong. I love you 💕💕even if you can’t. by @rad_rio

Shoulda zigged when I zagged. 😭😂😭

Following jump queen @capuano_amelia on her home town jumps when I over shot it my a mile and I guess I froze up a bit. Sad part was this wasn’t my first time hitting this line 😭
It’s my first big crash in long long while and I’m beyond thankful my @leatt_mtb helmet did its job and I walked away with only a small concussion and a singular bruised rib.
Took two and a half weeks healing and getting back at it slowly. I’m grateful to keep riding and still have the rest of the summer to go, wish me luck I’ll probs need it 😂🫶😭😭🙏 by @rad_rio
