As always in no particular order,

my 8 favorite moments of the month right here!


8. My Mom and Dad put on a bonfire! There was hotdogs and s'mores over a pit and some live music. I had some lovely conversations with people and it was such fun getting to meet and talk to new folks and other acquaintances.


7. I got to see my friend perform her thesis role of Lydia Bennet in "Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley" twice! Such a fun show.


6. My parents took me out for Chinese to celebrate me getting a job and starting a new chapter in my life aaand while there I ate a squid...mini octopus for the first time! It didn't taste bad at all; Kinda like slightly rubbery teriyaki-flavored...chicken? (haha!)


5. My Dad and I ate Sal's pizza while watching a foreign film called "Give Me Liberty." It starts out kind of slow, but has some pretty hilarious moments throughout.


4. I received the most wonderful news that my friend Matthew Rushin is being let out on a conditional pardon after being wrongfully imprisoned due to a car accident. The media paints it's usual, unresearched, attention-grabbing idea of a story of what happened, but if you want to learn more about him and his story, click here. His mother has done an incredible job of getting his case the recognition it deserves and spreading his story to everyone she can. I'm looking forward to seeing him come March 2021.


3. Posted an original song to YouTube this month titled "Red Flags"; Honestly one of my favorites I've ever written. See it below!


2. Thanksgiving. In the evening, I shared with my family members how grateful I was for each of them and it honestly brought tears to my eyes. My gratitude was more real then with them than ever I think.


1. I believe the most profound thing that's happened to me this month is that I've felt a noticeable shift in my personality and inner growth. It's amazing the change that occurs when your mindset starts to think a different way. Really amazing.
