Having lived in Ohio my whole life, I can't help but be proud of where I'm from. As I've become older I've gotten over the same stale complaints every Ohioan riddles on about; "there's nothing to do! the weather is terrible! the browns suck!" and have begun to see Ohio for all the beauty it holds. I've been very sentimental lately about my home state thinking about the possibility of leaving it in a few months, and asked for an Ohio necklace for Christmas so I can always wear home close to my heart wherever I may go.
Another comfort has been discovering the Ohio Explored page on instagram! It's a collective of shots from all around Ohio, and it makes my swell with pride to see so much beauty that I'm surrounded with. They recently came out with this super adorable (and SO soft) t-shirt that I kinda want to wear every day ♥ Did a little bit of exploring myself around my local nature center that has always been one of my favorite haunts since I started blogging. Stumbled upon this ideal little grove of trees I've never come across & had to snap some photos among them. Since I haven't been taking blog photos in awhile I'd forgotten how calming and serene it can be to just snap away by myself in the woods. Sometimes I'll play a little Ed Sheeran and hear it echo through the forest and I think to myself, "wow, this is so perfect."
With much love, Lauren.
