i have had a lot of great experiences in my life ; i have moved across the country [twice!] with a two-door car and a few hundred bucks.

i lost a family member and felt an absolute hollowness.
and all of that has made me this person.

i took an idea, busted my tail, kept pushing and was able to quit my job and follow my dream.

i appreciate it.
heres to a great year [and some big goals!]
