I did it! I made it! By the peach fuzz of my rear end.
It feels SO FUCKING GOOD to be out here in the middle of nowhere doing my thing. The muscle tension seems to just melt and slide off my body. It’s unreal the transition I feel within my bones as the sun licks my face and chest and breeze caresses my back. It’s almost immediate.
I have one full day of buns in the sun out here before my tour starts tomorrow! I am so grateful for the push that allowed me this intermediate rest. This rugged tour is a big big deal for me. It’s the first real big taxing adventure since my pain became debilitating in early 2018. I used to backpack for weeks and months at a time, both internationally and within the states. It was tremendously discouraging when I was no longer able to do these badass things that kept my heart full. I went crazy. It’s why I turned to self portraiture and naked nature frolics. I’ve come so far these past few years and although these issues are for the most part life-long, I have learned so much about my body and it’s needs and am really good at mitigating and working within my limitations. Agreeing to partake in this Rugged Tour with the Venus de Tierra collective was something that I put a lot of consideration into and determined that I am ready. We will be waking up at 4 am, hiking miles into rocky terrain, and staying out in the elements until the late evenings, a couple times even camping out in the wildness (so I won’t have my security blanket van). I know I am ready and this is the push I need to test my limits, but I am also really nervous. I’m looking forward to seeing how it goes ;) We start tomorrow and end on Monday. Wish me luck! After that the west is my oyster.
I will hopefully be posting a couple photosets to Thoracic tier and up in the next couple days before the big push starts. Maybe even getting to some messages as well ;)
I also have a bunch of Nudie booty video updates I’ll post for Cervical tier and up when I can find some more better service today or tomorrow. We’ll see if this post goes through— am more or less off the grid.
xx Prana
