Sis is in her bag. Sis carries three passports and permissions for her baby cousins. Sis has recpeits for rental cars and carries chapstick too! Sis is the fanny pack the fanny pack is sis. #fannypack
For a first gen American I often think about the opportunities I have been afforded. I wouldn’t say I’m well-traveled but for a person who’s grandfather couldn’t read and who’s grandmother didn’t finish HS, I’d say my half-filled passport is pretty impressive. I am blessed. Where have you been and where do you want to go?!
My vacation priorities.😍😍😍 honestly thank you @laurenfultonmath for reminding me to take more food pics. Next week the gang takes Spain. For now let me go eat a salad lol. Jk I’m pretty sure we’re on our way to Five Guys sur le Champs. Not my choice but I’ll happily eat my burger haha.
You sick of my Europe posts yet?! There’s 2.5 more weeks of this 😘🤗. Some thoughts: 1. I’m missing nail on my left hand. Tragic. 2. I think I look “too skinny” in this picture. Add that to your paradigm of beauty. Lol. 3. I walked around and sat around Venice all day then had a four hour dinner with my cousin and it was perfect. 4. I like it here. If I come back I just want better accommodations. 5. When I get back to normal WiFi I have thoughts and stories in the stories for now we struggling lol🎉🎉🎉.
Yesterday I was kinda not impressed today I get it. If you’ve been to Venice tell me your fave things to do that are cheap please! 👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿
I’ve been here less than twelve hours and I have had Gelato, pasta and pizza. 📸: Instagram cousin (kinda like an Instagram husband but my cousin 😂)
Here’s a picture of me before I get on a boat for a bbq on the Seine. Not a big deal.
This is Esther! I need to hear this and remember it and so do you! Keep people around who cherish you not JUST for what you bring to the table but JUST for being you. ::still bring things to the table tho Lol:: My cousins do this for me repeatedly and it gives my soul rest.
This was my first legit Crepe. @crepesywaffles doesn’t count! Lol it was delicious. I’ll be super annoying the next few weeks with Europe posts. Sorry not sorry.
I don’t stan a lot of things but I STAN @strangerthingstv !!!! Y’all I went to two @target to get this and the one I got it at I had to convince the guy on the phone that the other lady at the previous target said they had 24 in the database. Turns out they weren’t even out on the floor yet and he had to get them out of the back. WORTH IT! This USS Butterscotch is IN😝CRED👏🏾IBLE👏🏾. So incredible @aly_ks34 went to go get some and I asked her to save a pint for me so I could have it when I get back from France 🇫🇷. 🙈🙈I also really like ice cream 🍦 lol. I watched the whole season twice already CRIED both times. Also WORTH IT!!! Are you done with it yet?! @netflix #strangerthings #strangerthings3 #netflix #target #ussbutterscotch #scoopsahoy #steveharrington

This is the last one and it’s LATE late! Thankful for YOU! . . I am truly blown away by the fact that YOU are here. Over a year ago a prayerfully began this journey bc I wanted to open up opportunities for myself. I honestly started growing this account bc I didn’t want to pay for a masters degree but wanted to open doors and that it has done! Every time I get an encouraging DM or meet an internet friend IRL I am grateful! Anytime I share my heart I am reminded that people need people. I’m excited to see what else opens up and what else happens through the connections made on this internet app. . . This week MoNique pulled a card out of her bag and said, “someone gave this to me for you.” I was like hmmmm interesting. I opened it and it was a @Starbucks card with the SWEETEST NOTE I HAVE EVER READ!! And that truly blessed me (thank you Sarah😘). That little ol Esther could somehow be making your day brighter or a story could make you laugh or my experiences could give hope and freedom. Listen. I am just grateful y’all came on this journey with me! . . There’s a lot I could say but honestly people are the reason we do anything. They are the driving force behind everything! And I truly hope I never forget that or treat y’all like a commodity. I hope I always cherish that you could be anywhere else. I hope you also know that. That you are worth it, enough, an image bearer and that makes you VALUABLE!! . . So last but but least, I am grateful for the good people of the Gram!! #thankful4thirty
That’s a wrap!! Had a great time with this roomie of mine!! @itsmoniquesworld you’re a gem! A crazy gem but you’re a gem lol love ya! @getyourteachon

Day Twenty Eight 2️⃣8️⃣thankful for birthdays 🎉 . . When I was in my early twenties I secretly wanted big extravagant surprise parties and birthday outings and got disappointed when I didn’t get them. Here’s the thing. You can’t get mad at people for expectations that you never communicated. It’s not fair. I never told anyone I wanted those things. So guess what I wanted a party this year. So I threw myself a party! . . Today I am grateful for reasons to celebrate! . . Thank you for everybody who celebrated with me! Thank you for everybody who sent love and birthday wishes today I truly appreciate you all and you mean so much to me! And with that I am going to bed good night! . . #thankful4thirty
Day twenty seven 2️⃣7️⃣thankful for people 💃🏿🕺🏽 . . Tomorrow is the day people and today I have been faithfully reminded that the best part about living is people. . . We used to play this game, some of my friends and I, on road trips to the beach. The Three Question game. What’s your favorite color and why? What’s your favorite animal and why? What’s your favorite part about creation and why? Simple questions but you must answer the “deeply,” whatever that means lol. Supposedly the charactisics of the why you chose your answers are supposed to tell you what you want in a spouse.🤷🏿‍♀️ All I know is it’s a great conversation game! And I also know that my answer to the third question has always been people!! . . It has always been people bc of all creation we most reflect God. “In His image he created them.” When people are kind, when they are good, or if they’re faithful, should they have mercy or extend grace it is a glimpse of our creator. And I am so grateful for his creation especially today. . . I had a REALLY great day today. It was bc of people. Got a present, a massage, put my braids in, ran some (a ton of) errands and as I reflect I am grateful for the people. No man is an island and I certainly couldn’t make it to where I am today if I was alone. Thank you people. . . #thankful4thirty
