nyc and a years worth

hi. It’s been a while since i did one of these. I looked back and it’s been over a year since writing about a roll of film I shot. This one is a combo of two and covers months of time but i also kind of feel i need to make up for a years worth of lost time on here haha. A lot has happened and life has gotten more beautiful in it’s own way. For starters, I’m completely off all mental health medication and feeling better than ever mentally. It was definitely necessary for a season but I’m glad to be where I am now. I’ve been working as a Stylist at a creative agency for about 8 months now and I finally feel like I have found my career path. I recently got promoted to Art Director and have been overwhelmed with the amount of talented creatives that I’ve gotten to meet in Austin. Really beautiful things are coming and I can’t wait to see how things unfold. As for music, it has kind of taken a back seat to my life and my job which I think is okay for seasons. I really want to do more with it though. I’ve been writing a lot and have practiced being more honest with myself which is i think why writing has come more effortlessly lately. I feel more accepting of who I am and more at peace with the tensions of life. I saw Bon Iver in concert recently which if you know me, you know was huge. I had lawn tickets and literally couldn’t even see the stage. Then a random employee pulled me aside and was like “Hey follow me” and sure enough he took me to basically the 7th row center section of the show. I cried multiple times and was reminded of the power that comes along with doing what you were created to do. Doing what is most honest and real for you. Doing what you love. Ever since then I have really been motivated to get my music out, so we will see how this all goes. It’s painful sometimes- having dreams that overwhelm you with how to obtain them.

Anywho… I’m in love with the people in my life and I feel like I’m laughing more than ever. I’m so grateful for my friends. They love good food and wine and fun and my life is full because of them. As for the photos below, this is mostly from Halloween, thanksgiving, and a recent trip to new york. I can feel a lot when i look at these photos. Maybe not the same things you might feel when you see them but nonetheless here they are. Feel free to listen to the “C’mon C’mon” soundtrack when scrolling or the album called “the boy from ohio” by Timothy Edward Carpenter. Those two projects really taught me a lot about myself over the last handful of months and maybe they will do that same for you. So yeah anyways, hello again. Sorry its been so long. hopefully i’ll share another roll soon.
