I leave you behind for a sign that says “Welcome to New York.” You didn’t want to come with me to my new world, so I had to leave you in Connecticut.

23
Today is my 23rd birthday, and as Blink-182 would say “nobody likes you when you’re 23.” Well, I would like to argue with that statement — everybody likes me when I’m 23. For the past few days, I’ve been thinking about this past year of my life. Man, I did a lot. It wasContinue reading “23”
