back in balty.
had to get my head on straight... plan, re-evaluate and re-charge. so im back in Balty for a little while, and I'm so glad I did it. after driving through Virginia and TN for 10 hours, it felt like home when I finally got to DC and on 495 :) all the music changed too ... it was pgc 95.5 and 93.9 and 92Q the whole way home. and of course 93.1. hah. sometimes u have to think outside the box when things aren't making sense. my fam had a house fire last year and we just got back into our house for the holidays. there was so much to unpack and it was so nice being together doing that, going thru all our old things. we've never moved. ever. so there was a lot. my mom did an amazing job with this house. I'll be back in Nashville soon and NYC for a bit :) this holiday was so nice to reflect and remember what's important. hope everyone had a nice holiday and new year :)

im learning that if something doesn't feel right, it probably isn't and you don't have to force yourself to do something because you think you should. there's no need to keep punishing yourself or second guess or feel bad for the things you want or the person you actually want to be.. i feel like as a kid it was a lot easier to tell right away and just do whatever you wanted and what came natural. i feel a little lighter.
 “If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on.” - steve jobs I don't think it could be said any better than that.. so much said in so few words. I love the last line. i love thinking of your work as a relationship.. you have ups and downs in any but it's a commitment to love that makes it so rewarding over time. 
i moved to Nashville because my mom made me listen to a song that i kept forgetting to listen to.. when i got home from graduation she kept saying listen to it, listen to it.. so finally i got online and watched the video for a song called "The House That Built Me." and honestly it's a big reason I'm here right now.
Maybe because I had just graduated from college and because I was literally coming back to the house I grew up in and being forced to move on.. i don't know, it hit me like no other song had before.. so im here, to learn how to do that, maybe. i hope. one day
