Sometimes you just need to be on the highest peak in the Great Smokey Mountains to get away from all the chaos and remember there is still beauty in the world. God, I love this place so much. Hated coming home, but for a fleeting moment I felt at peace. #hiking #sunrise #peace

Scared. Anxious about the future. Catastrophizing. Packing a go bag in case I need to make a mad dash for Canada. I am anxiety girl, I jump to the worst case scenario possible. How far can evil orange man go? Other than that it's a beautiful day outside.

My dumb ass thought this was a miniature brontosaurus 🦕

I want to be able to nap like these two and be so oblivious to the chaos going on all around us.

Such a size difference but she bullies him.

Only 2. I need to focus more.

My cat is cheating on me!!! Looks just like my big baby.

Shout out to @dutchbroscoffee.bsky.social for helping me mainline my coffee. This thing is thicker than my finger. #coffee #dutchbros #caffeine

Listening to the pod. I still can't tell the two apart, lol.

The sky was on fire tonight. Absolutely beautiful sunset..maybe everything will be okay.

Sometimes you just have to drive to the mountains to lay on a sidewalk at the entrance to Cades Cove and stargaze.

Magical.

I survived the great East Tennessee earthquake of May, 10 2025. 4.1 magnitude earthquake.

I felt it and my first thought was earthquake but then gaslit myself into thinking I was crazy. Validated when my siblings texted me to ask me if I felt it.

Hiking is my new Prozac. I used to get paralyzed when life got overwhelming. I never regret forcing myself to get out and hike. Beat Saber is also great. Do whatever you can to not get trapped in your head. It's toxic there. The ticker tape doesn't stop. It's a struggle. You're not alone!

Fall days are best days!
