Dear Camp, Wow, where to begin…the impact that you have had on me over the past years cannot be summarized with mere words or in a simple blog post. How does one say good-bye to something that has shaped and changed who they are so deeply? You have been one of the most constant things…

I’m Not Happy…
Over the past couple of weeks I’ve had many people say a very similar sentence to me when we end up talking about all of the changes and events that have been happening in my life: “Wow, I’m so inspired by how positive you are in all of this” Or some sort of variation of…
Caution! Detour Ahead
To say that this week didn’t exactly go as planned would be an understatement. While there were multiple unfortunate circumstances that arose, one of the ones that affected me the most was finding out that I can no longer leave for Germany when I had planned. Let me explain… Back at the end of June…
Identity Crisis
Identity can be a funny thing. It changes so quickly and is dependent on so many factors, the biggest of which is people. We base our identity, who we see ourselves as, on how other people perceive us. All too often though the way that other people see us shifts depending on who they are…
A Letter From Where I’m Headed

Carrying My Own Weight
"I owe my body an apology. Technically, I owe my body thousands of apologies, for the thousands of times I've accused it, pushed it, starved it, made fun of it, lied about it, hid it, hated it. But now I owe it another on, and I also owe it my gratitude, long overdue, and for…
