Over the past year and a half since my last post I have written out a number of different post-drafts that were never completed. Hopefully this time it’ll be a bit different.

There was a long period of time where I was out of the house much more than I was at home – I felt like that was a productive use of my time. Being out and getting to know other people, socializing late into the evenings, just being out and away for basically the whole … Continue reading Home.
Six months go I as pretty broken, both physically and emotionally. Six months ago I… went through a terrible breakup which left me lost and confused. started at a new job hating everything about it. shunned myself away from all my family and friends because I felt like I could trust nobody. couldn’t lift more … Continue reading A Midyear Checkpoint: The Color Run.
