the more things change...
if you haven't listened to this album recently, there's something wrong with you. do it now.
i have only come to love all of these people so so so much more than i did then. and so happy and grateful to have them in my life. that is something i've been thinking about from the past few weeks: i am so unbelievably grateful for the people in my life, more than i can ever say. so strange that my life has changed so much but that photos i took over 2 years ago fit so seamlessly with photos i take today. eh weird.
hehe.
a week ago i couldn't sleep even though i was in my bedroom in my house with my parents and i was staring at my wall and this polaroid jumped out to me, july 2007. and i realized this is how i'm remembering you...
...among our mutual best friends, having the most carefree times. places like this; bonfires and fields and piers and city street curbs are the ones that ever meant anything, that had any connection to your life and spirit. not a burned down apartment on a sketchy street. you left an incredible mark on the lives and minds of the people i love and admire most; sarah and chris and and i just wish i could tell you in person how i've always been in awe of you but i have so much faith that your spirit is on to bigger and better things. seriously. rest in peace.
