It’s amazing what you can do when you don’t take no for an answer and ‘just do it’. Ran for an hour straight…which I know really isn’t that much but it’s a first for me. Feel pretty darn accomplished right now:D

Night hike up telegraph
Challenge to take goat trail
Get lost
Make our own trail
Scaling the sides of mountains
*dont tell mom:p
Gazing at stars for hours
Shooting star
Shooting star
Hushed conversation
Laying by your side
Forget the world
:)

T’was an awfully great adventure!:)

Made my first jump today! Most liberating thing I’ve ever done:D and I mean that literally. During the jump my eyes were opened to all the possibilities that life could potentially hold and I finally accepted the fact that my life is better off without you. Feeling the crushing wind against my skin, it was like the air was peeling away an unwanted layer of myself-all your baggage on me is lost in the sky 13000 feet up!:)

I said
I love you
And
I meant it.

But you just
Never heard
Me…
You never heard me.
You
Never
Heard
Me.

You left me to pursue a future, and I couldn’t be happier for you or more proud of you. But that selfish part of me hates it. All I want is you back beside me..it shouldn’t be this hard on me..but I miss you like hell! I didn’t think your absence would cause such an ache in my chest, this throbbing pain that refuses to go away. This wasn’t part of the deal! I was never supposed to become so attached to you..what we had was supposed to be temporary right? It doesn’t feel so temporary to me any more…..and I can’t help but wonder if it does to you. I can never be so sure with you, you hide your feelings so well. But then you called me -I hadn’t heard your voice in days, just hearing it flooded my heart with warmth- and I could hear the exhaustion in your voice. It broke me to not be able to go to you and make it better… It was a short conversation, shorter than I would’ve liked. All you said was “I miss you….so so much” in a hushed tone, making the words penetrate deeper past the surface. and you kept repeating it, as if desperate for me to know. I’ve never heard those words from your lips before…and I couldn’t help but think that maybe it never really was temporary for you. But you hung up before I could whisper the three words, those three words you’ve never heard from my lips. So I’ll say them here:

I love you. 

It comforts me to know that people in the Olympics fall over hurdles too haha

This is my grandma around my age. Im always told that I’m a spitting image of her…and it’s always one of the greatest compliments I’m given. I completely idolized her, miss you muma:)
