I wanted to leave. Then I missed it.
The part of chasing a dream that doesn’t fit neatly into the announcement.
October 2024 post. I’d asked Draven to take these photos before leaving.
I thought about leaving my family, friends and my animals behind. I thought about how the fuck all of this would work.
The caption was about leaving my family, friends and animals behind.
And then it became ordinary life.
In January, I wrote that it felt like I had just arrived.
It’s already been almost 3 months of chasing my dreams and it feels like I just arrived.
The leaving goes both ways.
Lowkey leaving really sucked, gonna miss the homies but yk how it goes. Reunion will b soon, no doubt.
In the April post, I was leaving Idaho and already missing the people I’d met.
One later detail I want to keep.
Quick backstory, one night I was at my desk at 2 AM probably pondering about the upcoming boarding season, so I applied to a few different resorts that night.
In May, I posted the backstory: sitting at my desk at 2 AM and applying to resorts.
