Life update 🌞 I never would have guessed that within a month of moving to my dream city I, along with the rest of the world, would be in the midst of a global pandemic. But I love a challenge! Even with all the uncertainty, I am so happy to be where I am. I knew there would be challenges, and a novel virus is only the tip of the iceberg. I didn’t move out here to be comfortable; I made this change to be happy. I’ve used this unexpected extra time to reflect on what happiness is for me. When I’m working on my passions, I am happy. When I am taking care of my body and mind, I am happy. When I’m confronting my personal struggles and working to better myself, I am frustrated sure, but I’m happy. Life is meant to be lived. Life is meant to be filled with moments of joy, discomfort, tribulation, and success. You make the choices that yield the life you live. It took me a long time to understand that, and I’m still learning. For a long time, I was cautious; scared of making the wrong decision. But change doesn’t come unless you act. And I’ve come to understand that I have always been a weird mix of passive and passionate. It’s a fine line to walk. But I’m excited to see how I find my balance. https://www.instagram.com/p/B_u60_Un4TN/?igshid=eq7ynhkg3l7h

I did not expect my first few months in LA to include a global pandemic; preventing me from pushing forward in my purpose for moving here in a major way. But I’m trying to embrace our current circumstances as an opportunity. A moment to challenge my creativity and play a little. And drag is something I’ve wanted to experiment with for a while. I’m excited to see where this leads ☺️ #drag #dragking #ladrag #losangelesdrag #la #losangeles #actor #makeup #beard #dragkingsofinstagram #dragkings #dragkingsofla https://www.instagram.com/p/B-ytwRPnPdV/?igshid=70u6ln307bhl

Hello. Enjoy more pretty things from my walks ♥️ https://www.instagram.com/p/B-bKUJfnYhW/?igshid=p7hbazhd15c8
I had it planned to take another hike today, but just wasn’t feeling it. Besides, my neighborhood walks are filled with so much beauty, I’ve yet to take it all in! #laspring https://www.instagram.com/p/B95Z3B2nKNb/?igshid=7nu0qlo8k8i4
Awaiting a day when the rain stops and I can go on walking adventures again. Social isolation doesn’t mean you can’t get out for some much needed exercise and Vitamin D (psst...it’s actually a really good idea and you should do it)! https://www.instagram.com/p/B9z5H-EnWja/?igshid=1hakrz24fg6ul
Today was a long time coming...I went on my first California hike! I enjoyed a 2.6 mile trek, with 456 ft of elevation. My pedometer tells me that’s the equivalent of 24 flights of stairs. Reference for my Joplin peeps: Wildcat’s highest elevation is 177 ft. I’ll be honest, it kind of kicked my butt a little 😅 Here are a few pictures of some pretty things I saw. I can’t wait to explore more! https://www.instagram.com/p/B9iVb36n45W/?igshid=1fmj6w1kccjdg
She looks mad, but I swear she screams at me until I pick her up and hold her. #lifewithnoods https://www.instagram.com/p/B9cWYzsH6uL/?igshid=1g1sahtkob2wj
Chops has been a little anxious this week. I washed the bedsheets and she was convinced we were up and moving again. Ran around in a panic, worrying she was going to be put in her cat carrier, until I put the sheets back on. Poor babe 😞 Hopefully, with her birthday coming up, her mom can get her some fun gifts to help her feel grounded here. https://www.instagram.com/p/B9COnvEHPV1/?igshid=1ruep4xgpsb39

I was feeling really good about myself for about a year and a half...then I had to get back into old habits and fuck myself all over again.
This is the only video that matters
Why don’t we have a party, ladies?
