I use to visit when I was little and they have a mayor that’s a dog! It’s the definition of a southern town. The newest mayor is a French bulldog.

The mountains in Tennessee are beautiful, and one of my favorite spots is sunset rock, you can go hiking or just come to see the beautiful view.

Just a lovely picture of a sunset that I took from my backyard in Idaho. I loved all the colors, it was a gorgeous thing to experience in person.

Going to a movie theater I would say is a classic staple of American activity. For over 100 years they have been a place of communal experience.

I enjoy painting, drawing, and crafts of all sorts. I find that emerging myself in art allows me to express myself in ways words simply can not.

I’ve seen Twenty One Pilots in concert quite a few times and they are always the best live. Their performance is incredible each and every time.

The art is based on festival called Coachella. Fan-made art and parodies are a keepsake reminder to have a voice, even if you aren’t the artist.

Junk journaling is a fun way to be creative. It's like scrapbooking and I can just put on music and create something to relax. It's a fun hobby!
