Hey Tumblr

It's been a while 👋🏻

I’m watching Crime Scene: The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel and have some thoughts, particularly about the public’s response to it.

I feel torn about the idea of the web sleuths and their general sense of entitlement to all of the information related to the investigation. “The police have this information. Why don’t we?” Uh, because you don’t need it? Because you’re not entitled to it? Information is power, and the misuse or mishandling of it can have dire consequences.

On one hand, I understand the desire to want to help, to want to be involved. The fact that web sleuths have solved crimes before is awesome, honestly. But in this case, it feels more like a bandwagon and a breeding ground for conspiracy theorists and clickbaiters. Curiosity is human nature but at some point it becomes exploitation.

I’m still watching, so that’s all I’ll say for now. /endbraindump

Every feeling has an evil twin. Love has obsession; sad has depression; frustration has rage, etc

and then just left

Today I got a notification asking if I wanted to look back on pictures from my gallery from a year ago today. I said sure, why not? When I came across the picture of me on the left, I immediately remembered why I had taken it. I had decided to start working out, and wanted to document the beginning of my progress. That plan didn't last long, and I soon fell off after maybe a month, as I had many times before. Fast forward to now, a year later. I'm in kind of a slump for working out. I've moved out of my parents' house and belong to the YMCA, but haven't been in a few weeks. But I've still made pretty substantial progress this year. I was anywhere between 205-210 lbs in the picture on the left, and now I'm around 172 lbs. I've adjusted my eating habits, cut out a lot of the mindless snacking I used to do, and am still working on creating a workout habit. Seeing this picture reminded me that even though I'm in a slump now, it's all just part of the journey. I still have work to do, but I've come a long way from where I was a year ago. As long as you don't give up and keep working every day to be better than you were the day before, even if you fail, you haven't lost. . . . #relentlessforwardmotion #weightlossjourney #gettingstronger #strengthforthejourney https://www.instagram.com/p/BrJG_kLh2iZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dml9jv11q6en

Today I am thankful for a lot of things, but especially my family. I'm thankful for the ones I have with me now, and those I have lost, who are with me always in my heart. I have been blessed beyond measure, much more than I deserve ♥️ . . . #happythanksgiving #thankful #family #guardianangels https://www.instagram.com/p/BqhEi9whKsc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mpsmmafma45f

Almost a week ago I finally got to see one of my favorite bands from when I was growing up, @goodcharlotteband, and it was one of the best shows I've ever been to. The energy was unreal. They played a ton of their older songs and everyone knew all the words. I'll definitely never forget this night 🖤🤘 . . . @joelmadden @benjaminmadden @therivchicago @knucklepuckil #goodcharlotte #boysandgirls #featuringknucklepuck #knucklepuck #joelmadden #benjimadden #rivieratheatre #emokidsunite #latergram (at The Riviera Theatre) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp-lDC2BDMm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=l4f79zi3s985
