Two years ago today we met. It was a sunny, yet chilly Sunday afternoon in downtown San Francisco. We had been exchanging text messages for about a week and seemed to hit it off, so we took the first opportunity we had to meet & see if there was chemistry in person. Our first date … More T W O years
It’s not always easy being your authentic self in a day & age where swiping left & wandering eyes make the appeal of finding someone shinier/prettier/thinner a twisted reality.

Things have started to turn around for the better, and I’m looking forward to the coming months. Just when I start feeling like myself though … More Random thoughts & fading memories.

So it’s something I actively try to live by (not doing) and celebrate my life for all that … More Things are looking up. Realizations & possibilities.
I went up to Big Bear, CA this past weekend to escape the desert heat and get some fresh air. I thought hiking in the woods and boating on the lake would do me some good.
