Jan 21

I've reached a point in my life where I feel I've done enough. I remember back when I was 14 or so years old... the summers were so long I ALMOST wished they would end so I could go back to school. Now they fly by.

And now I'm in the Autumn of the year. I'm going to enjoy what time is left, and on my terms. At the end of the day, social media can take a lot of one's time, and I'm not so sure the results are worth the time spent. I've put several art projects on hold, a friend just gave me a subscription to America's Test Kitchen, and other endeavors just make more sense to me at this point.
