Field Trip Tips & Advice

FYI the pics/vids are intentionally out of order b FYI the pics/vids are intentionally out of order because that’s kinda how I’ve been feeling😵‍💫

Change, and just life, isn’t easy. The past 6+ months have been a rollercoaster emotionally and mentally. 

Ups and downs must be a part of life, shaping us in ways we often don’t realize in the moment. I’m learning to trust the process, to believe that each challenge and triumph has a purpose. Here’s to growing through it all, one step at a time.

I’m beyond grateful for the ones who check in, who remind me I’m not alone, and who stay by my side through it all. 

If you’re feeling this way too, know you’re not alone. Life most definitely isn’t meant to be perfect, and I have no intention of making it seem that way on here ❤️
