I want you to watch me!” my son demands. A storm of panic roils in my head. Why is this so damnhard? I think. Life? Adulting? Parenting? Why can’t I just get my sh*t together? There’s the mess—and then there’s the judgment about the mess. The comparisons to friends who appear to have their lives in order. Who don’t seem to be waiting for a stray dog to lap up the ecosystems evolving under the table. In the far reaches of my over-filled mind, I think, you should check out that website again.

Current mood: 🐵🙈🙉🙊🐒🍌#Repost @natgeo with @repostapp ・・・ Photo by @tbfrost | Juvenile gelada monkeys are quite the acrobats. Almost every morning while on assignment with @jtkerby We would find a group of young Geladas playing in a giant dirt pit next to the cliffs where they slept. It was very entertaining! To see the entire sequence of this jumping gelada , head over to @tbfrost

That, not machismo or bullying, is bravery." ~ #waylonlewis 🐘 Share your perspective, whatever it is, thoughtfully: elephantjournal.com/submit

I think @emooski @b4tm4n2209 and @hanikwa can relate ❤ #repost @repostapp ・・・ Life's tough and sometimes it can suck. So hold on to the people who love, give them the best version of you (not the stressed out and short fused version of you) and enjoy every moment of good in your life.
