Saying goodbye to this place as I pack yet again for another weekend away! 💔🚗💨 It's going to be a great one. Got my girls with me and we're ready to take some #basic photos and eat some #bomb #buffets! 🤣🙌🏽 ______________ www.girlandtheword.com . . . #homedecoration #jungalowstyle #finditstyleit #fleastyle #howiboho #mybohoabode #thatjungalowlife #showmeyourboho #refinedrefuge #bohoismyjam #bohoonthelowlow #currentdesignsituation #smallspacesquad #designsponge #pocketofmyhome #apartmenttherapy #myeclecticmix #eclectic #urbanjunglebloggers #plantscout #industrialdesign #houseplants #industrialstyle #myhousebeautiful #studio #loft #studioloft
How nice it is to finally be home in my sanctuary and uberrrr comfy bed! 😍😭❤️ Gotta cherish this moment before going on the road again this weekend! August is #insane!! 😱🚗💨 ______________ www.girlandtheword.com . . . #homedecoration #jungalowstyle #finditstyleit #fleastyle #howiboho #mybohoabode #thatjungalowlife #showmeyourboho #refinedrefuge #bohoismyjam #bohoonthelowlow #currentdesignsituation #smallspacesquad #designsponge #pocketofmyhome #apartmenttherapy #myeclecticmix #eclectic #urbanjunglebloggers #plantscout #industrialdesign #houseplants #industrialstyle #myhousebeautiful #studio #loft #studioloft
I used to be so much more judgmental and critical of others, but I realized something this year that touched me and changed the way I view people: Where would I be if the people that I cherish wrote me off the moment they saw my flaws? I wouldn't have any close friends, and I would've kept hating my own quirks. Thanks to @mayaleex3 and the people who never gave up on me and only assumed good things about me, I was given the chance to thrive. Now I know to give that same precious chance to others. ❤️ #bestfriend #maya #gracious #forgiving #thoughtful #pearandbanana ______________ www.girlandtheword.com
"You have a lot of natural talent. I would recruit you for the forensics team based on your delivery and creativity. But life will also sometimes want to take you seriously, and you need to be able to take yourself seriously sometimes, too. I am not sure that you always do. You should." -Feedback I received from my professor. It made me get my act together and score the highest in class at the end of that semester! 🙏🏼 . I've always found it difficult to strike a balance between taking myself too seriously and not taking myself seriously enough, but I think it'll come more naturally with wisdom and maturity. 🙏🏼❤️ ______________ www.girlandtheword.com
I got a tattoo along my spine when I was 19 because I wanted to forget that I had it, just so I can be pleasantly surprised when it shows up in a nice backless dress or in photos like these. It was a calculated move that worked out pretty well, but not everything I've planned has turned out like this tattoo story. Simply put, I like being in control. I like knowing the what, why, and how. Who doesn't? If we're honest to ourselves, we all have that measure of pride in us. We like control because it's comforting. Knowing the whole path helps us to mitigate the risks. But what happens when we do everything right; dealing our cards carefully and planning out each detail to the T, and we still receive an unfair, horrible outcome? One of my fave verses in the Bible is Proverbs 16:9, "We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps." This is at the same time alarming yet incredibly stress-relieving. It means that we are free to dream and free to plan, but if we put our trust in the Lord, He will walk with us and lead us, albeit though thorns and tragedies, toward a better destination than we could've ever imagined for ourselves. ❤️ #foodforthought #stuckattheairport #reflection ______________ www.girlandtheword.com
