a wholehearted gal inspired by Brené Brown and RuPaul, hoping to get over a stupid boy via the purchase of a small journal

So I am finally back home after four long months away, which means I have access to some of my old journals, which means I can SPRUCE things UP. Which is exciting. Also exciting, my ex-boyfriend has felt the need to re-confirm both his cruelty and stupidity now that we are back in the same time zone (read: I will be posting a lot more). Stay awesome and keep remembering how bad-ass all of you are, regardless of your relationship status. The only person who can threaten our self-worth is ourselves. Mallory-out.

Because how better to spend a flight than making a traveling quote look cute in your notebook?

I’ve taken a little bit of a hiatus from my tumblr because I just spent my last week studying abroad in Copenhagen, Denmark and have been exploring the city of (self) love, Paris! I originally had planned to go on this trip with my ex-boyfriend, but since things didn’t work out, I’ve been taking in the city on my own. I would 11/10 recommend going on a vacation alone. I am LIVING (and also eating dessert three times a day).

Cheers to finally feeling good in this city again.

The past two days have been really, really excellent. I found out a monologue I wrote will performed in a show and my research project found statistical significance. Days like these I feel special and really proud. I am worthy of such much love and belonging. Thank you for dealing with my CHEESY self. If this is nacho-thing you should unfollow! Hahaha, see, it’s funny because you put cheese on nachos. Bye for now.

After a long day and some crying, surround yourself with people who make you laugh and remind you that loving hard and fierce is always the way to go. Happy Tuesday friends.

Because eating some tasty treats with people you love, should be something you always make time for. Feeling grateful for some sweet pals and some sweet snacks.

Sometimes ex-boyfriends message you saying that post-breakup, they are the happiest they’ve ever been; so that has me thinking a lot about happiness. Sometimes you just need to know you bring joy to other people and say thank you to the people who bring you smiles and hugs and loving.

Today, I’m feeling grateful for abnormally yellow eggs. I swear on my life this was not photoshopped. Denmark just has really natural eggs. I’m also grateful for having an appetite and wanting to eat. There was a good two day stretch there in the beginning of the break up where I was happy to nibble on only one piece of toast for a meal - and I have TWO full pieces of toast here WITH lemon curd as jelly ALONG SIDE some heckin’ yellow eggs. Happy days folks.

Hello. Me again. Same dealio as before. Just uploading some of my favorite quotes I’ve written over the past two weeks. I have stopped using my comforter as a tissue, which has been a huge step for me. So glad I have inspiration from Brené reminding me that sometimes, crying so hard you need to wipe your nose on your comforter, is not only okay but owning this fact is BAD ASS and BRAVE. Heck yeah, empowerment.
