You’re alive. That means you have infinite potential. You can do anything, make anything, dream anything. If you change the world, the world will change.

ugh I have so much work to do for my crit tomorrow, but I’m in Iceland and have dates and yoga classes and raw food restaurants and jazz clubs to go to, why oh why would I want to edit pictures right now? It’s really good to know that I can procrastinate so effectively both in and out of the states. 

morganmas: I have got to tell you, your blog(s) are so incredibly inspiring to me. After reading of your adventures, I have an itch to go explore the rest of the world. I do have a question on how you got started eating so clean- I think I may be gluten intolerant and I really need to begin restricting my diet so I won't feel ill all the time. Frustrating enough,I always find myself craving all the bad foods and guilt myself into eating them. Do you have any advice on how to get started/avoid all the junk? 

Thank you, thank you dear one! Go and explore, please. There’s nothing like it. As for eating clean, the first step is the hardest. You really just have to make yourself start. I played around on the fence of healthy eating for a year or so - I’d make mostly healthy choices, but then go eat a loaf of bread or drink a few beers, or whatever, but then I realized, I’m just hurting myself, and making myself feel awful. Once you get started on a more healthy path, you’ll feel so good that going away from it will feel uncomfortable. Even just being in Iceland for two weeks, I’ve been eating less healthy just because there are far less options here, and I feel slow and tired and less fit, and can’t wait to get home to eat a bunch of green veggies again. It’s just a matter of willpower, but also there’s a lot of freedom in realizing that healthy foods can be just as delicious, if not more, than the junk food. Take the time to prepare good food for yourself, but be really mindful of what goes into it. Tell yourself you’re really going to make the change, and then don’t let yourself go back on it. You’ll do wonderfully, and you’ll feel so incredible, I promise.

man, somehow I smell like both a farm and a club. I don’t even know. Viva le Iceland.

Don’t fall apart - it becomes a habit. Stay calm and know that you are where you are right now for a very important reason. Life will never give you something you can’t handle. It will all make sense in a little while, but for now: Go back to basics. Drink water. Breathe deeply. Eat foods that heal. Surround yourself with loving people. Read books that resonate with your soul. Go for a walk in the woods, on the beach, in the park, in your backyard… Anywhere you can breathe fresh air and see the sky above. Close your eyes. Connect. Remind yourself of the things you have to be grateful for, and let the words Thank You become your most important mantra. You can do this. You are strong, you are whole, and you are not alone.
