A moment where I had to stop and take in where I was. As a person who prefers quiet and dislikes urban spaces, I fought this spot surprisingly charming (so much color!).

Before I flew out to Kerala, my sister jokingly told me that if I saw a wedding there, I should crash it and get in on the enjoyment. I rolled my eyes and said, “Why would I see a wedding?”
Why is there a wedding happening outside right now? 🤣

I just caught a tiny gecko in my hotel room and escorted outside. Heh, I usually leave them alone when they come inside because they eat bugs and spiders, but in this hotel, it was going to die. Nothing to eat.
Caught it under a glass but not before it let go of its tail to try and distract me! 😁

People say things like this and either they don’t understand or care that there are naturally skinny women out there. Just as nasty as in the 90s with heavier women.
When you get to be in power, don’t be an asshole like those you overcame to get to that position.
Ijs.

Saw this kettle of black vultures from my hotel room in Miami.
They always look like they’re on some important business, even when they’re just riding air and vibing. They have CEO energy for no reason.
“We are majestic. We are organized. We are…looking for a dumpster.”

The desert never looked so green. It’s all thanks to the recent rains. Won’t last, but it’s nice for now (except for the mosquitoes…but they’ll increase the gecko and bat population, so still a win).
