My Life

I am 23 years old and I live in a small town in central California. I got to Fresno State; Go Bulldogs! I am/was a musician: clarinet, bass clarinet and trombone(ish). I used to dance many moons ago and I would love to get back into dance eventually. I have had a lot to overcome in my 23 years of life, but I know that there are always people who love me to help get me through. Ask me questions if you want to get to know me. Follow me on twitter @aly_jo33 and on instagram alycat0363. Have a blessed day :)

When I was leaving my house Monday evening, I saw these beautiful clouds and the sunset reflecting on them after a storm just went through. The sky was so blue(which doesn’t happen in the valley all that often). I waited until I was at the stop light and knew I just had to take a picture. I’m bummed that I couldn’t stop and get out to get better pictures, but at least I was able to snap a few pictures in my car. #clouds #sunset #calmafterthestorm #picturesincars #alyjphotography #photography #amateurphotography #amateurphotographer #centralvalley #centralvalleyphotographer #centralvalleyphotography #californiaphotographer #californiaphotography #iphonephotography #iphonephotographer #hobby https://www.instagram.com/p/BtriGQunsI-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1r6m3knat4j38

This is my reality. On Wednesday I was up and out of the house by 8am and didn’t get home until 6:45pm. I know that doesn’t seem like it’s that big of a deal, but in my world it’s huge. I borrowed too many spoons(which I’ve not done in a very long time) and I pretty much lost yesterday because I was asleep almost all day and part of today was spent sleeping. Now I’m feeling like I’m going to have a seizure and I know it’s because I pushed myself too much. It really sucks to not be able to spend time out and about having a “normal” day without then losing the next day and a half because you have to recover. But this is what my life is like on a regular basis. Always having to make sure I don’t use too many spoons so I can function daily. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsy6jnfHwHY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1q4ff3byter76

I decided after 5 months of bright pink, purple and blue that I’d mix it up and get rid of about 4 inches. @beyondhairbyhayley did a fabulous job! I absolutely love that I can just trust her creativity and art knowing that whatever she ends up doing is going to look beautiful. If you’re in the Visalia area I highly recommend that you check her out. #hairgoddess #obsessed #purplehair #opalhair #funcolors (at Provence Salon) https://www.instagram.com/p/BscH2PAhMtk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1is8lgq4rt00t

Heya all! So I’ve been going back and forth for a couple of years trying to decide if I should create a YouTube channel. I’m not exactly sure what type of videos I’d make, probably a mixture of health stuff, vlogs and maybe some photography...? I’m just curious if anyone would actually want to watch videos if I make them... so should I make a channel? And if so, what do you think I should do? Feed back would be greatly appreciated and don’t be afraid to be honest. Thank you!!! #youtube #shouldistartayoutube https://www.instagram.com/p/BsKKZr1Hncx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=eduet0i4n5nf

She did this for a good five minutes. Who needs cat toys when all you need is broken hair ties and a bathtub 🛁 (she took the hair tie off the counter and brought it into the tub with her) I have super eventful Saturday nights #catmom #catsofinstagram #instacat #blackcat #brokenhairtie #playinginthebathtub #catsarestrange #butsoami https://www.instagram.com/p/BrJtnyyh0Op/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tvsg4y16v55r

I love carrying my keys on my “Chronic Illness Warrior-It’s Not For the Weak” lanyard from @theunchargeables I’ve been bouncing around from specialist to specialist for the last six months trying to get some sort of answers as to why I’m feeling so awful. My blood work has been changing drastically, even from week to week. It’s been extremely frustrating. I see my endocrinologist on the 19th so hopefully he will have answers for me, because my PCP is stumped(I tell her it’s because I like to make her job harder) #chronicillnesswarrior #itsnotfortheweak https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq85_0tHMMC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=6f5z30tuoxin

My hair was so awesome(my opinion) yesterday!! I had it in a low pony, flipped it and then braided it! It was a fun way to show all of the colors!! I’m so grateful for my hair goddess, @beyondhairbyhayley , because I absolutely love my hair! #pinkhair #bluehair #purplehair #brighthairdontcare #lowponyflippedandbraided #fun https://www.instagram.com/p/BpdHjzbHizB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=r6ncq4h0gw8k

❤️💙🇺🇸💙❤️ 17 years ago we were attacked at our home. Not only did we lose those who were on the flights and in the twin towers and pentagon, we lost first responders. Today we remember all of the lives lost and come together as a country, just as we did that day, to remember what is truly important in life. #godblessamerica #neverforget https://www.instagram.com/p/BnmZAzwnncA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qyjya54hx271

I felt pretty today so I’m going to do something I don’t normally do, but I’m going to give myself positive vibes and rock it! Sometime you need to feel pretty and today I did just that! #confident #feelingpretty #noshameinmygame https://www.instagram.com/p/BmuZH0ynDej/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bqh6haldig3w
