B · 24 · CALIFORNIA · GOOD VIBES i've outgrown tumblr, but you can browse my young adult ventures from when i was barely legal to right before i reach my mid 20's. it's been a rough ride, but a fun one.

Long time no see.

Hi! I had to check my profile to see when it was the last time I was on tumblr. 

I was 24.

I’ve been tumblr since high school and I’ve actively been on this specific tumblr since I was 18 or 19 I think.

I am 28 now. Oof. What have I done in the past 4 years?

Went through a quarter life crisis

Moved to SoCal to pursue a new career that I love

I continued to train but I never had enough time to compete.

I got my black belt last May under Leo Vieira + Pati Fontes

I built a small following off a bunch random blurbs and my jiu jitsu journey, so figured this was relevant. 

Anyway, I don’t really update here anymore but you can find me on instragram @bitismalls.

Hannibal was a weak b*tch for succumbing to nominative determinism. Oh you eat people cause your name rhymes with cannibal? Boo, foh with that shit what kind of spineless puppet are you. I'm going to name my son Brenocide and raise him to be a Zen gardening consultant to flex on the Fates.

How does it feel to be the funniest motherfucker to ever grace my inbox

Fight to Win was the first #bjj event I've attended in a long time and was one of the most exciting display of the sport I've ever seen. So inspirational to see local talents take the stage and getting to cheer amongst my wild teammates ♜ (at Santa Clara County Fairgrounds)

[janvierxvi]

Sup, ya'll miss me? I just emerged from my #bjj hiatus right in time to watch the one and only Kurt Osiander in action.

grew past people and gained new views.

i’ve been pretty isolated for the most part. most of it it just me trying to piece my life together, break a sweat, and then drink on the weekend just to keep myself from getting bored.

always running into people who ask if i still speak to anyone from high school or early college days.

no. i don’t. but thank you to those folks. i think i was the most insufferable then, even though i cringe at things i did just yesterday. my entire life is pretty cringe worthy. if that’s how i reflect on things, then i must be growing.

i originally meant to say that it takes two to fail a friendship, but i guess the reality of it is that we continued to grow differently.

i appreciate all of my friendships considering i must have been a handful. i hope i was able to pull enough weight in your books as well.
