you know how humanity has pivotal cultural years, where the stars seem to align and create some freak year that is somehow monumental? & we are constantly referring back to it (for example, in America, 1969.) well for my life, 2011 would be one of these years. epic floods in my home state AND in my adopted state. End to epic relationship and the beginnings of school, dating (!), and living with a roommate. Dead uncles, grandmas, dogs, friend’s uncles, earthquakes, hurricanes. Chain smoking on the roof while looking at the skyline and somehow feeling its gunna be OK even though I am alone…dude. 2011. Its crazy epic.
