it didn’t quite register throughout the day until we spoke on the phone later that day. she had found my first email to her, dated Oct 19th. So it’s actually hard to believe that it was exactly a year ago that we hung out for the first time. I dug up this photo of her from that day. The irony of our relationship is downright silly. it’s amazing how much can transpire in a year. or a month for that matter. Interestingly enough, we meet exactly one month before my 33rd birthday. i don’t want to have super high expectations for 34 but i think it’s going to be hard to top 33. when i consider how much has happened in the business as well, i may as well believe that it’s all downhill from here ; ) well, maybe that’s a bit dramatic and transition points tend to be like that. undoubtedly i am ever more excited about this phrase as the last major transition in my life. if the last 5 years has been about orange, then the next 5 will be about her. from there, who knows what when the monk should emerge.
