Year Deuce

It's funny to be in a city where something so commonplace to the locals can completely blow my mind. Thank you snow! I’ve now completed two years and heading into my third winter in Colorado Springs. These past few years have been filled with a LOT of change that I’m proud of, like how I’ve been able to experience what financial stability tastes like, getting three promotions in just over a year at work, making progress on getting healthy and signing up for a race I have no business being a part of, joining a CrossFit gym, and being re-inspired in my songwriting and releasing a few singles, EPs, and an album on the way. So much personal growth can come from change and the way we respond to it. In the middle of all these good things there have still been moments of loneliness, a few brief waves of depression and anxiety, and a few unpleasant health related things, and a few deaths in the family. It’s important that we set aside the unpleasant memories as soon as we’re able to allow growth and openness to thrive. I am aware of how nonsensical that phrase may sound, but I’ve started to find some truth in those cheesy life mantras and I’m becoming ok with their simple messages.
