Beginnings

In just over 24 hours I am boarding a plane for Los Angeles to begin a 6month internship at the Knitting Factory in Hollywood. I have lived on the east coast for all 19 years of my life and am beyond excited for a new beginning. I always welcome change and this may be the biggest one yet.


Exactly one year ago to the hour an old friend of mine died in a car accident. He was the first boy who has ever loved me and although it had been ages since we were close his memory has never left. He taught me so much more than he ever realized about life and people and giving in and letting go and it is him that I am thinking of as I leave to move my life forward, because his own life is frozen in time. I refuse to be frozen anywhere, and 19 is far too young to plant any roots. So it's time to keep moving.

See you on the west coast.
