i got tattoos right as i turned 18✨
which, probably was not the smartest idea. i had hills and hills of ideas that i wanted done, but really no thought to them besides the fact that i “wanted” them so badly. this of course, leads to the conclusion that i do have tattoos that i regret; although not many, still some. - “euphoria” |

I Thought I Wouldn’t Like These Books 🥺
You know that feeling when you pick up a book, read the blurb, and think, “I’m probably not going to like this very much?” But you see everyone reading it and decide to give it a try (even if it sits on your shelf for a while before you read it)… and then it ends up being your favorite book?! 😂

Not all great progress ends in crazy weight loss
This got a lot of hate when I first posted it one of my groups because my progress pic doesn’t end with weight loss… now reposting a year later, it didn’t end at all. When I first posted this a year ago, I posted because I was proud of my bulk, even when I was soo scared of gaining weight.
