This year has been a series of life lessons thus far.

1. Patience and perseverance are always rewarded.
2. Sometimes life isn't okay, but that in itself is okay.
3. Your parents will always be your best friends.
4. Saying yes to the most intimidating opportunities can yield the most incredible experiences.

...and the list keeps growing with each passing day.

SO, where has life thrown me to? New York City. Indeed I am now a Manhattan apartment-owner (more like renter) and an employee within the wild world that is New York City advertising and marketing.

I am thrilled to be here.

There isn't a doubt in my mind that this is where I am supposed to be. Each of 2018's lessons have placed me here with great care, encouragement, and reassurance. I am so thankful for this new world that has been placed in front of me and I am stoked to share it.

Cheers to the next adventure and all the madness, brilliance and glory that may ensue!
