I turned 31 this month. I turned 30 last year in a pandemic, while standing masked, among thousands, marching for Black Lives. This year I did nothing. This month I helped a friend realize a vision for a music video to an original song. I started graduate school (which - wow - just wait till you hear more about this), I moved out of my home and began summer travel, and I dove head first into what I’m calling “forever summer” - which is that I’m not bound to the schedule of a school-based employer. Feels akin to “forever young” - I’ll take it!
