2017

Like everyone else, I have been reflecting over the past year and wondering what 2017 will entail. I feel like a new year shouldn't be a clean slate, but rather a dirtier one. Each experience adds another speck of dirt, another ring around a tree trunk, another star in the sky. I want my life to grow and expand from those experiences; the good ones and the bad. Every year is a foundation but every day is a chance. A chance to be different, to be kinder, smarter, better.
This picture is my favorite from 2016. Some days will be bad. Some days will feel like theres no purpose but oh how life brings you wonderful, beautiful moments like this one that brings back a spontaneous night of venturing out into the darkest of places and being among the stars. And that's a memory you don't forget.
