That’s me in July of 2011. I recently came across this picture again… And you know what? I never even realized how muscular I was then. Seriously, I didn’t. Body dysmorphia is an insidious delusion. Our minds play tricks on us more often than not. At that point in my Read more…

Last weekend I took a solo weekend trip to Acadia National Park in Maine… And it was an amazing experience. (Acadia is a definite must-see for everyone in my opinion.
