I'm at the @moxirollerskates skate camp at @woodwardcamp west for the weekend. I bought the tickets before everything went a bit... crazy in my life but I'm super glad I've come. The drive here was absolutely stunning! Everyone here is so nice and I'm learning so much and becoming WAY more confident as a skater. I'm also shooting a ton during this trip so look forward to that!!!

It's times like these that I am overwhelmed with gratitude. My life is so rich in experiences and incredible, loving, talented people who, inexplicably, care about me. Yesterday, I was back home in San Luis Obispo and my time was completely monopolized by the most amazing people. Also, my new friends in Portland have been checking in with me while I'm away and I just feel so loved and blessed.

Sorry to get so... dopey, but I know I talk a lot about my depression and it gives the impression that I'm kind of a miserable person. In actuality, I logically know I have a pretty awesome life and am usually outwardly positive; it's the emotional part of my brain that struggles to get on board and attempts to sabotage the logical train of thought. Writing about that process helps the logic-side stay in the forefront and I enjoy that I'm able to define those type of feelings for people who also struggle with them.

TL;DR: I'm super grateful to live the life that I do and this feed deserves some positivity from me.
