man, I know I’ve been away for a good bit. whatever soul is reading this from behind a screen, my apologies. 

its finally getting cold here, and I love that. 
some moments I feel like I just had a birthday, and other moments I feel like this year was dreadfully long. strange how that happens. this year has so far been a collection of emotions and feelings and experiences. definitely the most “sturdy” feeling of years I think. I felt really grounded this year, and the proof of my learning myself, and my worth showed more this year than ever I think. I accomplished a good bit, released music, traveled, made new friends - some who feel closer to me than a best friend, grew my faith and the community, and things just feel ‘good’. not necessarily ‘great’ or ‘terrible’, but good. & on any other given day in any other year in the past, that would’ve terrified me tremendously, but I’m learning to love what is good. to not live on the highs and lows of life (finally) and just to be content, truly where I am. no time on earth has made that concept harder than now though. everywhere you look there’s a comparison. but its my aim, and my goal even into the new year. I know its not even thanksgiving day yet but I wanted to at least journal this bit and get it out, if for no one else but me. I hope wherever you are, you’re well, and planning to stuff your face come thursday. 

and you, don’t be gone too long
