» I repeat: say YES to all the things! Say yes when a friend encourages you to change your plans to visit a new city. Say yes when another friend connects you with someone she knows in that city. And then say yes when that new friend you just met invites you to join her and a bunch of people during a city-wide music event!🎶🇫🇷 Tonight I went out during fête de la Musique here in Strasbourg with my new French friends and it was everything. I tried all the tartes flambée, laughed harder and louder than I have in a long time, and danced through the streets like it was my life's calling 💃🏻 This trip continues to change me in the best ways, and I'm stoked on all that I'm shedding and the best version of Gennean that I'm becoming, because she's pretty rad💥
» Why yes, I have stepped straight into a fairy tale here in France ✨
» My love for these two knows no bounds, and spending time with them in Munich was just the best! Now that I'm on the second leg of this trip after resting up in Germany, I've never been more thankful for the kindness of friends like this one 💕
» Sooo I'm halfway through my Europe trip and I've got a sweet update for you guys, so head to my blog for allllll the fun!⚡️ #linkinprofile 💻 gennean.com/blog
» It's Friiiiiday 🙌🏼 so I wanted to hop on for a quick #fridayintroductions to share some fun facts about ya girl, and I'm dubbing this the "nerdy and proud" edition... let's goooo! ⇣ — Harry Potter has been my jam since I was literally 10 years old when the second book came out because, fun fact, I read the second book first because I was a small child who didn't realize it was a series🙄 I also consider HP World - both Orlando and Hollywood - the happiest places on earth⚡️ — I also have an extensive love for Stranger Things and the MCU and DC Universe. I'm full of random facts about all of the above, which tends to impress my people considering I often can't remember basic ish 🕸 — I am 100% determined to check one of my big life goals next summer and attend ComicCon🤞🏼 Question is: will I cosplay? and if I did, who would I be? ⇣ There's so much more about my nerdiness that would impress the pants off y'all, but I'll save it for another day. And now I have to know: ARE YOU MORE OF A MARVEL OR DC FAN, AND WHY?💥
» I've been working on applying this quote to my life for a while, but never more so than right now. I feel like there are so many good and exciting things on the horizon, yet I'd be lying if I said I wasn't realllll tired at the moment... but man, I can't even imagine the regret I might feel if I quit right now because of it. So I'm choosing to rest and to press on, because I'm absolutely convinced that beyond every hurdle is so much glory✨ I can't help but want to also share this quote with those of who might be feeling tired, worn down, spent, or overwhelmed right now. I don't know your situation, and I won't pretend to, but as someone who has and does wrestle through bouts of depression, I want to say: please, if you're tired, don't quit. The world needs you and your love and your magic more than you know, and I believe that with every ounce of my being. ⇣ REAL TALK: I just posted a new blog sharing more of my experience with melancholy and depression — feel free to check it out #linkinprofile 💻 gennean.com/blog
