I’ve been trying to come up with a End of the Year/2016 Re-cap post, reflecting on where I’ve been and what I’ve done. It’s been so heavy on my mind and I haven’t been able to find an accurate perspective to watch this fucked up beauty set sail.
My God this year really chewed me up and spit my ass out, but I couldn’t have asked for a better series of events to grow from.
I started this year and I knew what I wanted, and knew where I was going and who I was taking with me.
Somehow over the course of a year my world was beaten with a mallet, aggressively seared from every possible edge and ruthlessly shredded to almost nothing at all. Then simmered delicately, slowly adding the finishing perfections. This year was continuous leaps of faith mostly emerging from false pretenses, with a kick start from my restless soul- learning everything that I knew I needed to learn.
I bartended. I lived with shitty, sketchy people. I got a new address (a few). I swam in the ocean, a lot. I met so many down to earth people. I fell in love. I learned expensive lessons. I grew rich with life.
