Battling the Demons It seems there are times more often than I’d like to admit, That I spend watching the ice melt, Into the caramel color, And the pile of ash and embers grow into a mound. I think of my failed dreams in the cage, How a head kick and a right hand, Shattered my pedestal, That was already fragile.

Something about these beautiful temples right next to a pile of ruins is poetry. Also, pull-ups. . . . . . . . #theearthoutdoors #travelgram #lovetotravel #traveldairy #simplyadventure #exploretheworld #dametraveler #flashesofdelight #openmyworld #wheretofindme #mytinyatlas #beautifuldestinations #exploringglobe #wanderlust #worldtravel #natgeo #travelstoke #earthfocus #roamtheplanet #bucketdreamers #liveinwanderlove #stayandwander #visualambassadors #visualgang #ourlonelyplanet #livinglife #earthofficial #cambodia #siemreap #soft_vision

One of my favorite things to look for and at while visiting temples in Cambodia was the numerous, amazing sculpted art. Years and years have gone by yet it still looks so vibrant and full of detail! . . . . . . #theearthoutdoors #travelgram #lovetotravel #traveldairy #simplyadventure #exploretheworld #dametraveler #flashesofdelight #openmyworld #wheretofindme #mytinyatlas #beautifuldestinations #exploringglobe #wanderlust #worldtravel #natgeo #travelstoke #earthfocus #roamtheplanet #bucketdreamers #liveinwanderlove #stayandwander #instagood #visualambassadors #visualgang #ourlonelyplanet #earthofficial #siemreap #cambodia #soft_vision
