"Bird behavior offers a mirror in which we can reflect on human behavior. The mirror is all around us, glinting from the wingtips of hundreds of billions of the 10,000 species of birds that share this planet with us. Lucky for us, birds are everywhere. All we have to do is watch" 🍃🐣💕 (at The Ojai Raptor Center)

I spent the majority of the past week sleeping under the stars in my 5x5 tent and exploring new places with people that I love dearly. This week was a big eye opener for me in many aspects, one of them being that my yearning desire to be connected with and surrounded by nature grows and grows every single day, and I am so extremely happy that the path I've chosen in life allows me to combine all of my passions in order to explore ideas, make mistakes, and create on a daily basis🌲📷🐣 (also, I touched a squirrel today and it was, without a doubt, the highlight of my entire 22 years of life so far) (at Cambria, California)

Thanks for never getting mad at me even when I break your shoes or steal all the blankets, and for always having cheese in your fridge. Thanks for always holding my hand and for spending 95% of our time watching Harry Potter. Thanks for losing sleep to hang out with me and for attempting to be patient while I take a million photos everywhere we go. Thanks for being the coolest and most caring person I'll ever know and for also wanting to leave a concert after two songs because 9 pm is way past our bed time. Thanks for singing ding frazzle dum at the top of our lungs and for always paying for our ubers and bar tabs. And I'm sorry for always secretly thinking you were adopted... It's becoming very clear to me that we are basically the same person. Eleven days with you wasn't nearly enough & I'm already (LOST) without you, my pottermore. (at Portland International Airport)
