24 years ago, people celebrated for me in the same establishment, halfway around the world. There’s a video of it, but I don’t have it now. I was really cute back when I was a little ̶g̶i̶r̶l̶ ̶ child, so the other photos will do.

This will be the last post in a while so y’all can start to rest easy after this but I just wanted to say that before doing this exchange, I planned to go to all of England’s counties due to visa restrictions. I thought it would be great to get to places people would probably not even think of going to and true enough I was surprised and blessed and forever grateful with what I got. There are 48 counties, but unfortunately I didn’t get to all of them. However, I would like to think that 37 is a really really good number. Thank you so much, England, and of course, the UK. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧 (at England) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzWda_-FGcnEvE-Ohxa5OaNNp9Am2kiraJr9RI0/?igshid=1ttxb2zchauf

y’know what yeah that makes sense

mamoru

active games have truly revolutionized rehabilitation and exercise. there are so many hospitals that have wiis. and retirement homes. old people will NOT stop bowling. painful exercise used to be boring and now people can rasputin to get stronger. it rocks

I didn’t go this far just to go “this far.” Thank you, Newcastle. (at Newcastle upon Tyne) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzJvYZAF0Lx/?igshid=1sunwv3lp6ky5

“The Origin of Symmetry Is Born of Quietude, Of restless, nameless Solitude; A Child of Eternal Latitude” - Berwick was a lovely historic coastal town. Met a friendly friend whom I wasn’t able to get a picture of. But picture 10 is as close as it can get (a real highlight!)

The city was so beautiful I didn’t dare take my picture with it; I would have only made it ugly. (at Edinburgh, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzCAtEIFQaC/?igshid=1tspv0hzm80ar

I empathize with John Ruskin when he said, “I live in chronic fury, only softened by keeping wholly out of the reach of newspapers or men.” Egregious disappointments keep happening, but I’m grateful for the people who keep pointing to where I really should be looking to.

One time in History class while the professor was teaching about the Middle Ages, she mentioned the War of the Roses, but said that we didn’t have to worry about it because it was too complicated and, most of all, boring. She said it with such disdainful passion that it left us shookt and made us go “woah there Professor [REDACTED] we never knew you’d say stuff like that.” The War of the Roses was a civil war between the House of York and the House of Lancaster for the English throne, named after their respective symbols, the white and the red rose. Also in case you were wondering why New York was “new.” (at York) https://www.instagram.com/p/By3q7WglWzj/?igshid=19vhok6k8t86y

Treasures often appear when and where you don’t try to find them. It’s amazing to have seen some of them, like these ones. It’s more amazing to have met, and been with, a lot of them ever since these past couple of years. (at Durham, Durham) https://www.instagram.com/p/By1EOUilPbE/?igshid=hwob49taf4h
