Today is my 6 year anniversary of when I asked my beautiful girlfriend @themanicnami to be more than friends. It's been a long six years and very hard. We've had ups, downs, lefts, rights, crazy spirals and all the wonders that come with a Long distance relationship. But we've made it work so far and I hope we can continue to make it work so that distance is no longer what keeps us apart.

What I'm going to share is a story I base a lot of our love on. A type of bond weve developed in our time together and holds special in both our hearts.

In 2012 I met Nami in a Original character tournament (OCT) called Sixfold league. It was pokemon based and a lot of fun. We became real close and even the community knew that. One day this image below circulated and became known as us.

(I dont have the artist to credit. If you do please message me.) (Namipoke and Dezduck)

We adopted the idea pretty quickly and soon made the derpy pokemon our Pokesonas. Had we made our own I could only guess she would pick chandelure or a fairy type pokemom. As for me I'd choose Dusknoir.

As we grew close we developed inside jokes on our Pokesonas. Like they were in a daycare together and had their own corner of doom. We had endless scenarios and ideas for this. I loved every moment. One day we decided to collaborate a scenario. We both know that eventually their trainers would have to come and get them. The following images show our work of that collaboration.

It was a bittersweet scenario. The trainers taking away two pokemon who have become great friends and fallen in love. We didnt do much for this afterwards. But I always imagined a few scenarios after. Like Dezduck breaking free from his trainer and chasing Namipoke. In doing so uniting the trainers together and bringing them into the special bond their pokemon have. A bond similar to the one I formed with my friend Nami.

We have lots of things in common, art, pokemon, food. Weve grown up in similar situations and relate very well to one another. But we are also very different and unique. I dont think we ever stop learning about each other from one another. And that's why these next commissions are meant to represent. I went and asked for these artists to show a world of this bond. Each and every work is something I adore and feel my love for Nami in each one. I can't wait to be able to print these and give them to her in person.

Nami if you are reading this, I love you and I hope that I will continue to grow alongside you. I hope one day we are no longer seperated by distance.

Thank you all for the hard work and effort you have all put into this. I appreciate it so much and love all these works.

Little Lyanna

Summary: Jon is out of his mind with worry, trying to busy himself as his wife labours their baby into the world... They've been trying so long, and they had once thought it would not happen.

Notes: As you know, I am taking part in a challenge on tumblr by user 'JonerysFic' and 'MhysaOfDragons' in which for seven days from Valentines day I am uploading a new one shot. The prompts have been provided and the stories have all been written and I gotta say you're in for a lot of Jonerys content. So Day 7, the last day, 20th February, which is when I'm uploading this, the prompt I chose was 'Free Choice'. So I got thinking and decided to expand on my glorious reign series and give you the birth of their first child, Lyanna.

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/17864576

----

Jon was going crazy.

Waiting for the arrival of his and Dany’s child had left him drinking with Tyrion in the hands quarter as a promise to Dany that he’d stay away while she laboured their baby. All of the dogs in King’s Landing were howling, due to the storm that had captured the city and by extension scared the inhabitants into staying inside. Lighting and rain, flashing and fierce. There had been four storms since he and Dany assumed the throne five years ago, but this had by far been the worse. Ironic that their child would also be known as Stormborn like it’s mother, but that also left deep rooted fear within Jon himself.

He wondered if she would survive, after all both of their mother’s had perished when giving birth to them, although Sam was dealing with her, the only person he trusted. But there was still this nagging feeling of fear within him that meant he was on edge and pacing the hands chambers all the while it was going on. He could stand on the Balcony and see their chambers from it, but he wouldn’t know what was happening.

They’d lost a babe already, after the first time they’d made love on the boat from dragonstone to White Harbour, Dany’s bleeding had not arrived. They didn’t count their chickens before they hatched, both of them knowing what happened to her last babe, but when her belly had began to swell with life they were joyous. Jon requested they not tell anyone, as only Missandei, Sam and themselves knew at that moment. But about ten weeks after the conception, Dany bled hard and the babe was lost.

She’d cried for weeks in private with him, they’d shared his chambers and it had been heart-wrenching to see her suffer. She put on a smile for the lords of Winterfell, and when they’d caught her crying she’d always played it off as the lose of her Dragon, which in a sense was also her child. So when her belly had become swollen once again six months ago, they’d been very joyous yet extremely cautious. Jon had not let her do anything, she was to relax for the first few months, must to her annoyance.

And now, she was in labour, a month early.

To make matters worse, Lord Baratheon and Lady Stark (Jon’s sister) had sprung upon them a surprise visit, which meant they too were in the hands chambers, drinking with him as the entertainment Tyrion had quickly thrown together for the visiting family got cut short. Daenerys was in the middle of giving a speech when she’d gushed on the floor and began to feel light headed.

She was early, and this was all the more reason Jon was worried. The chances of both of them surviving was very small, but he’d hoped that she had, they both had. If she was to go… Jon couldn’t even bare to think about it, he loved her so hopelessly that the even consideration that Daenerys Targaryen, his wife, his queen, would never see him again, would never look at him with those eyes, was completely consuming him

“Stop pacing, you idiot” Arya grumbled, fiddling with a knife, twisting it between her fingers. The Valyrian blade that Bran had bestowed upon her all those years ago, before he’s met his end… Jon shook his head and did as he was told. He may be the king, but when Ayra said to do something, he listened without question.

“It’s natural to be fearful, Your Grace” Tyrion countered, pouring red wine into his goblet and almost downing it instantly. “But I can assure you she’s in very good hands”

Jon knew she was, Sam had delivered several babies now including that of his sister, Sansa’s two children with her husband up in the north. He may be Lord of Horn Hill, but he also was their maester, and Jon trusted him more than anyone else besides Daenerys.

“Perhaps we can do something to take your mind off of everything, Your Grace?” Gendry offered. Nothing would take Jon’s mind off of it, he knew as such, but he took the bate and sat down at the table with the other three. “Are there any pressing issues that need resolving in the city?”

“We’ve been dealing with a speight of theft in flea bottom” Jon shrugs, reminding himself that flea bottom needs to be renamed as it wasn’t the hive of poverty it had once been in the era of the Lannisters rule. Jon and Dany had more than enough comforts here in the Red Keep that he’d make monthly donations of food and clothes that were worn by servants down to them and handed them out personally.

“Okay, let’s focus on that then”

It worked for maybe twenty minutes, until Jon swore he heard screaming all the way across the Red Keep. He knows he didn’t, it was more than likely his mind playing tricks on him, but still, it was enough to stop him from wanting to commit to the City’s issues and think about her instead.

He didn’t pray to the old gods, after all he’s seen in the world he doubted any god’s existence anymore, but he did pray to Sam’s ability that he’d keep her alive, both of them. He should’ve ignored Dany, stayed with her until the end, but it had been hours and she’d begged him to go until it was done. He wouldn’t if it was a case of not wanting to seem weak, or not wanting to see the birth, or perhaps if she did pass, she didn’t want him to see it in front of his eyes.

Whatever her reasons, it was a decision that was driving him crazy and fearful and almost alone.

“Sansa has birthed two children, both of which were successfully delivered by Sam, stop having a crisis you’ll look like you’re supposed to be celebrating your fiftieth name day” Arya was growing impatient and Jon did not blame her in the slightest, but had they known about the baby they lost, then perhaps she’d know why he was frightened for his Queen.

Sansa knew now, shortly after the war and her engagement and subsequent wedding to Gawen of House Glover, she’d come to Jon about bleeding heavily and unsure of anyone to turn too. She’d suffered a miscarriage and it had affected her mentally. Jon had offered comfort and told her the story of her and Dany losing one and from that moment, Sansa had dealt with the issue better.

“I’m her husband, she’s my Queen, let me worry” Jon sighs, thinking back to the times in which his worries were the living dead killing all of men-kind.

So much had changed and so much was still to change now that he and Daenerys were to become parents. The capital had been so happy at the news of their King and Queen welcoming a child soon, and thankfully, the other lords in the kingdom had too. Jon had struggled with it on some occasions. A child was something Jon had always wanted but never envisioned he would have when he was serving on the wall, but something that had come true and very shortly, he’d have to be a father.

Would he be a good one?

“Your Grace” Jon hears behind him and so he turns to note several guardsmen and Sam, the Maester and man he trusted amongst everyone else. He was covered in blood, as was to be expected after delivering a baby, but his appearance still filled him with dread.

“Is everything alright?” Tyrion is the first one to speak.

“Mother and babe are both alright” Sam nods and Jon almost wants to fall to his knees. The relief that over spills in his body is almost too much to handle. He doesn’t know whether to sit down, to run to Dany’s side, to kiss Sam even. “The Queen has lost a lot of blood however, so she needs to rest up for a few weeks, eat plenty and drink lots of water to get her up and running again” Sam takes a small pause. “It’s a girl”

Arya squeals piercingly into the air and yet Jon isn’t affected by it, he’s just shocked, his entire system falling apart as he imagines a small girl in his arms. A girl, a little daughter to call my own, our beautiful miracle, our beloved angel . Jon needs to see them both, he need to hold her in her arms and look at the beautiful life he and Dany created together.

“Can I seem them?” Jon ask, knowing that even if Sam said know he’d still go anyways. Sam just nods and that’s all Jon needs to start a quick pace towards his own bedchambers.

The halls are quiet when he leaves Tyrion’s chambers, only guardsmen with smiles on their faces as Jon feels glee and anticipation build in his chest. He follows the way to his chambers that he was so familiar with at this point, seeing servants cleaning and clearing stuff away, seeing cats up on the balcony, seeing the steps to their space. She was there, his little princess was waiting for him, and his queen too.

When he reached the door to his chambers, he was greeted by Missandei who was holding sheets covered in blood, she was smiling brightly when her eyes connected with Dany’s. Clearly happy both the Queen and the girl were okay. She gleefully grins before heading off in the direction Jon came from, leaving him to open the door.

The sound he was greeted with was like music to his eyes, a soft gurgling and a sweet song that melted away every fear in his body. He did not know the song, he thinks perhaps she made it up, but her voice is tunely and melodic and the happiness that was radiating from it was enough to send Jon wild. He sees them then, Dany, sat up in the bed with a small clothed babe in her arms. Jon, in an instant, is at her side.

“Stars above” Jon whispers as Dany kisses him on the cheek. “She’s absolutely perfect”

As he looked at her, he notices she has been born with a thick head full of hair, black hair like his own and a little bit all over the place. Her eyes however, magnificently violet and delightfully wild. Jon knows the babe can’t see them both yet, but she was content just being in her mother’s arm.

“I’m glad you’re here” Dany sighed, Jon knew she was tired. “She needs to hear her Father speak to her”

She passed him over and for what felt like hours, Jon just held her in his arms and looked at her. She was the most perfect creation that has ever been because of him. He loved her with every drop of blood in his veins, every breath in his lungs and ever word in his mouth. He whispered to her, promised her that he would protect her until his last breath, love her until he could not any longer and he even shed tears. He was sensitive in the moment but he did not care.

She was a dream.

“I want to call her Lyanna” He says out of nowhere, not having heard anything Dany had said, just cut off from it all as he stared at the perfect babe in his arms. “I think my mother deserves that” He stated. After everything his own mother went through, everything she and his real father gave up for him, and after wanting to know about her and finally finding out the truth, Jon felt sure that was the little babe in his arms name. “If that’s okay with you”

“Little Lyanna Targaryen” She sighs, sleep wanting to take his wife over. She was now laying down, hoping to get a moment of sleep. Jon did not mind, it meant he got to hold his babe for longer. Little Lyanna Targaryen, it was. “I like it, then if we have another one, we’ll call him Robb”

If we have another one, we’ll call him Robb.

Jon liked the idea, but they had everything they needed for now. Him, his queen and their beautiful Princess Lyanna. A life Jon never envisioned, but one he was grateful of nonetheless.

Live, Love, Learn.

9/13/18

Valentine's day 2018❤

Now I know why it never worked with anyone else. It took you to open my eyes and realize what life really can be. Because of you I found me in some ways I needed to let go of who I was and I'm just glad you saw through all the bullshit. You knew that wasnt who I really was. I am a new person and shes much more likeable. I am a better person and it is all thanks to you for never giving up. Saying fuck and losing all hope in me like everyone else did. I wasn't a lost cause to you and that made me feel good about myself. Most people just used me for something they wanted and never treated me like a human being. So yes it was that easy for you. That's it, there was nothing more than treating me like a respectable girl. Not saying I'm easy because I'm not, despite others opinions. I'm a very clean person and now more than ever. I'm not that girl anymore, thank God she almost died. I never wanted to be her to begin with. But I have learned because of you who I was underneath the drugs and makeup. I just needed a little reminder.

You came into my life and ever since I have been so happy. Everyone has told me how different I look so it must be true cause we act like weve been together forever. Which truthfully it does feel that way and for me it's the best feeling knowing something this good happened to a sad girl like me. It was the beet thing that could've happen to me.I am alive and you're to thank for that. I know you love me more than anyone has just in the fact you were so patient for so long just for my attention, I had no idea it was so important to you. You valued me as a person when I didnt give a shit if I was alive or not. You always saw something spcial in me and I never knew why.

You are so sweet to me and I hope we continue to be happy like this forever because I cant get enough. I never want it to end and I'll make sure it doesnt. I want to marry you if you'll allow me to. I know marriage is a little scary for you right now but dont you worry ill be as patient as you were with me. I finally have someone that takes care of me in all ways imaginable and its so nice it is such a change of pace and it is so refreshing. I wouldn't trade this for the world. I cant wait to spend my entire life with you. When I look at you I know I'm okay, I believe in some God for bringing you to me.

Even though you can be an ass just like everyone else I still love everything about you. We both have a lot of growing to do together but I want to do with you and you only. I wanna see the world with you and have you always be my partner in crime. I cherish all the moments we spend together, hint, thats why I take so many photos. Sorry. You love it! It just documents our love and that makes me smile and it's also a plus we look amazing together. Like it was meant to be. Actually it was meant to be! All of it....even our arguments.

Our fights are never going to stop as long as we're both human. We will probably never agree on things like flavors of icecream or spicy ass chicken you tried to make me eat; to the seasons of the year. But all that makes everything worth it with you. We didn't start how normal couples do so I didn't expect you to be perfect in the slightest. But you do an amazing job at the adaptation of living with your girlfriend of a year and a half. I could only imagine how hard youre working to live with me.I am so proud of how well you've done. It hasn't taken you long at all and being an only child I know this isnt the easiest thing you've ever done. You make it seem so simple though. The cuddles are the best arent they? Sleeping with someone else is great huh? Until you sweat to death lol. So living with your girlfriend hasn't been all bad. Cuddles whenever you want! And feet rubs and someone to always heatup leftover dinner for you!

I love the things we share and even if you blow 200$ on video games and I dye my hair too much we always support one another(even if we give eachother shit). If we didnt give eachother shit it wouldn't be as fun. You might be cheap and froogle but that what makes you, you and i think it's kinda cute sometimes.

I am also thankful it didnt work out with anyone else. Could you imagine me as a red neck? Thank God you saved me. You saved me from more than just rednecks, you saved me from drugs, stripping and dying. But more importantly you saved me from myself. So thank you. I can be a very dark scary bitch. I feel like I don't thank you enough. I know I get on your nerves sometimes but someones got to, but also again, thank you for putting up with me and all my baggage. I know its alot to ask for, I just hope my love will be enough to keep you forever. Youve changed my life I hope I've changed yours too.

What or who has changed your life?

My changes have all been positive! I hope all of yours are too. Change is so important in life sometimes you need a drastic change in order to move on or change who you are as a person and I did that because of you! So youre more important than you think. Youre the most important thing in my life! I value you and all of your opinions. I love the changes weve gone through together.

Time flies when youre in love and having fun. Everyday is a new blessing, I see life differently now because of you. No one has cared this much about me and my health and everything. I know youre by my side through it all and with you I can face anything. I really seriously am this cheesy yes. Dont judge me.

It's not always easy working with your partner, then add living together ontop of it and you've got a double whammy. I know I can get annoying and it feels like you can never get away so for that I understand why you snap off on me sometimes. Fighting is never easy but most people get to get away from eachother during some points of the day, but not us. So there's no doubt that somedays we'll be down each other's throats.

When you meet someone and you know there's something special about them. Keep them close love like this only comes once in a lifetime. A single moment can change your life and you changed mine, it all started with a kiss...

A kiss so powerful it overtook my entire body and ill never forget that night. I learned alot that night, it started as a bad night but then you came and saved the day. I am so glad you did and even though I was a bitch to you earlier you still over looked all that and came and saved me. I wouldve been screwed without you.

That night you kissed me under the lights at sheetz and it was the most passionate kiss I had ever experienced. There was sparks and it felt so natural kissing you. Like we were little kids and nothing else mattered besides kissing you. We kissed 100 more times that night. It was nice to feel like a child again playing and swinging at that playground it all started at.

Somethings in life you want to block out and forget but everything I do with you I will remember forever. Our time together is precious and ill never take a moment for granted. I love you Jonathan Lewis. Please take me as I am now and forever? It might seem selfish to wanna stay this happy but I hope you feel the same so it wont actually be selfishness. Itll be mutual, well love eachother how were supposed to be loved. I love you with all of me! I never wanna forget our love so please stay with me forever so I don't have to go without you. Kay thanks!

What do you love unconditionally?

Sincerly yours,

Joelle❤

Relationship drama and the Democratic convention took over Instagram this week

New Post has been published on https://relationshipguideto.com/must-see/relationship-drama-and-the-democratic-convention-took-over-instagram-this-week/

Relationship drama and the Democratic convention took over Instagram this week

Image: mashable composite: instagram and lindsay lohan/instagram and hillary clinton/INSTAGRAM and john stamos/INSTAGRAM

The Democratic National Convention dominated the news this week, and many attendees shared sweet photos capturing the experience on Instagram.

Insta was also a platform for some relationship drama Rob Kardashian made numerous changes to his account and left us questioning everything about his relationship with fiance Blac Chyna. Meanwhile, Lindsay Lohan asked her followers to respect her privacy during a difficult time.

SEE ALSO: Instagram may be making it easier to binge on a person’s photos

Of course, some Instagram posts simply made us smile. A blogger expressed her body positive epiphany and Amy Schumer ate cake in an innovative new way. Meanwhile, John Stamos gave us visions of Uncle Jesse circa 1989 and your favorite High School Musical gals rocked out together.

1. Hillary Clinton and President Obamas hug for the ages

We love you back, President Obama.

A photo posted by Hillary Clinton (@hillaryclinton) on Jul 27, 2016 at 8:59pm PDT

As if President Obamas 45-minute DNC speech wasn’t amazing enough, it ended with a moving embrace between him and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. Honestly, we couldve watched that hug go on for 45 more minutes. We love you back, President Obama, Clinton captioned an endearing photo of them hugging on stage.

2. Amy Schumer invented a new dessert

@marieclairemag #handcake #roadmanagerjudgingme if you eat cake with your hands it becomes hand cake

A video posted by @amyschumer on Jul 26, 2016 at 4:04am PDT

Weve all had hand cake at one point or another. Amy Schumer inhaled a handful of yummy spongy goodness while on her Marie Claire photoshoot, and her judgment-free road manager luckily captured the elegant feast on camera. If you eat cake with your hands it becomes hand cake, Schumer captioned the video on Instagram. Amy, thank you for coining the name of this ingenious confection.

3. Rob Kardashians Instagram scandal

Image: robkardsahian/instagram

Breakup rumors were in the air this week when Rob Kardashian suddenly removed every trace of Blac Chyna from his Instagram account, unfollowed her, and deleted every single photo from his page.

A new, private Rob account just surfaced, listed under the name robkardsahian. Blac Chyna recently followed this new account which would suggest its legitimacy, although some older posts on the 14 week old account provide reason to believe its a fans creation.

Robkardsahian posted a photo with Blac Chyna captioned, I want to say that me and Chy haven’t broken up we are just going through some tough times and social media blew it all up. I would prefer if we could stay out of the spotlight and find a resolution .

Its still unclear whether the account is legitimate or not, but hopefully Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashians upcoming E! reality series will shed some light.

4. Liv Tyler and her new baby are a perfect pair

Sunday morning snuggles with my baby girl. So grateful for this precious gift.

A photo posted by Liv Tyler (@misslivalittle) on Jul 24, 2016 at 9:54am PDT

Actress Liv Tyler welcomed her third child earlier this month, and she proudly shared a photo breastfeeding baby Lula. Sunday morning snuggles with my baby girl. So grateful for this precious gift, she captioned the sweet Instagram post. Sharing breastfeeding photos has been the subject of controversy recently, and women have been crushing that stigma by sharing their own awesome breastfeeding photos.

5. Lindsay Lohan wants some privacy

Dear friends. I’m good and well. #ATM I am taking time for myself with good friends. I am sorry that I’ve exposed certain private matters recently. I was acting out of fear and sadness… We all make mistakes. Sadly mine have always been so public. I have done a lot of soul searching in the past years, and I should have been more clear minded rather than distract from the good heart that I have. Social media comes with the territory of the business and the world we now live in. My intentions were not meant to send mixed messages. Maybe things can be fixed… Maybe not.. I hope they can. But I am 30 years old and I do deserve a #GENTLEgiant Life is about love and light. Not anger Thank you to those who stand by my side

A photo posted by Lindsay Lohan (@lindsaylohan) on Jul 26, 2016 at 12:45pm PDT

Drama between Lindsay Lohan and her fianc, Russian businessman Egor Tarabasov, has been unfolding in interesting ways lately. Lohan has been in the public eye for 18 years, and earlier in the week she Instagrammed an old photo of a heart-shaped cloud along with a message asking fans to take their magnifying glasses off of her relationship.

A few days later, she took the post down and replaced it with a photo of herself on a boat. In the caption, she addressed her followers to reassure everyone that she is doing well and to apologize for publicizing matters she wanted to keep private.

6. Lena Dunham and America Ferrera are with her

the moment it became real

A photo posted by Lena Dunham (@lenadunham) on Jul 26, 2016 at 4:08pm PDT

Actresses Lena Dunham and America Ferrera spoke at the Democratic National Convention this week, and a photographer caught them feeling emotional about it. The moment it became real, Lena Dunham captioned the picture of her and America Ferrera tearing up on Instagram.

Dunham and Ferrara used their speech to endorse Hillary Clinton and to discuss the importance of feminism and combating hatred. Lets put Hillary Clinton in the White House, and lets declare: love trumps hate, was the last line they said to the crowd, and it was met with thunderous applause.

7. Blogger Kelsey Wells is measuring her happiness, not her weight

SCREW THE SCALE || I figured it was time for a friendly, yet firm reminder. YOU GUYS. PLEASEEEEEE STOP GETTING HUNG UP ON THE NUMBER ON THE STUPUD SCALE! PLEASE STOP THINKING YOUR WEIGHT EQUALS YOUR PROGRESS AND FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING PLEASE STOP LETTING YOR WEIGHT HAVE ANY AFFECT WHATSOEVER ON YOUR SELF ESTEEM, like I used to. To any of you who are where I once was, please listen to me. I am 5′ 7″ and weigh 140 lbs. When I first started #bbg I was 8 weeks post partum and 145 lbs. I weighed 130 before getting pregnant, so based on nothing besides my own warped perception, I decided my “goal weight” should be 122 and to fit into my skinniest jeans. Well after a few months of BBG and breastfeeding, I HIT IT and I fit into those size 0 jeans. Well guess what? I HAVE GAINED 18 POUNDS SINCE THEN. EIGHT FREAKING TEEN. Also, I have gone up two pant sizes and as a matter of fact I ripped those skinny jeans wide open just the other week trying to pull them up over my knees. My point?? According to my old self and flawed standards, I would be failing miserably. THANK GOODNESS I finally learned to start measuring my progress by things that matter strength, ability, endurance, health, and HAPPINESS. Take progress photos and videos. Record how many push-ups you can do, ect. And if you can, your BFP there is only a 5 lb difference between my starting and current weight, but my body composition has changed COMPLETELY. I have never had more muscle and less body fat than I do now. I have never been healthier than I am now. I have never been more comfortable in my own skin than I am now. And if I didn’t say #screwthescale long ago, I would have gave up on my journey. So to the little teeny tiny voice in the back of my head that still said “wtf is this- not 140!?” last week when I stepped on the scale, I say SCREW. YOU. And I think you should probably say the same to your scale too. #byefelicia . . #bbgprogress #transformationtuesday #fit #fitness #workout #fitmom #fitchick #fitfam #fitnesstransformation #beforeandafter #sweat #mysweatlife #girlswithmuscle #girlgains #strongnotskinny

A photo posted by K E L S E Y W E L L S (@mysweatlife) on Jul 26, 2016 at 8:55am PDT

Blogger Kelsey Wells of My Sweat Life recently had a revelation about body weight that she shared to Instagram. After having a baby, she struggled with maintaining her goal weight, and ultimately came to the conclusion that weight is just a number.

THANK GOODNESS I finally learned to start measuring my progress by things that matter strength, ability, endurance, health, and HAPPINESS, she wrote on Instagram alongside three photos of her at different weights.

So to the little teeny tiny voice in the back of my head that still said “wtf is this- not 140!?” last week when I stepped on the scale, I say SCREW. YOU. And I think you should probably say the same to your scale too. #byefelicia .

8. John Stamos

My favorite thing to do in Vegas. #Leave

A photo posted by John Stamos (@johnstamos) on Jul 24, 2016 at 11:13am PDT

John Stamos recent visit to Las Vegas is giving us some serious Uncle Jesse flashbacks. Who could forget Full Houses double-episode spectacular when Jesse and Becky almost secretly got married in the city of sin? Stamos used Instagram to document the highlight of his trip. My favorite thing to do in Vegas. #Leave, Stamos wrote alongside a photo of him giving Vegas the peace sign.

9. Hill + Bill 4eva

“She is still the best darn changemaker I have ever known. Bill Clinton

A photo posted by Hillary Clinton (@hillaryclinton) on Jul 27, 2016 at 10:20am PDT

Bill Clinton melted hearts with his doting (although long) speech about his wife and presidential nominee Hillary Clinton at the DNC, and she thanked him by sharing a fantastic #tbt photo of the couple. “‘She is still the best darn changemaker I have ever known.’ Bill Clinton, the Instagram caption read.

10. Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdales mini HSM reunion

When you and your best friend are performers and love snapchat @ashleytisdale

High School Musical actresses Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale reunited for a little Snapchat singalong, which Hudgens shared on Instagram. Unfortunately they didnt sing We’re All In This Together, but their medley of Beyoncs Lemonade songs was definitely a suitable alternative. Its nice to see former enemies Sharpay and Gabriella getting on so well.
