I’m lying here in bed letting my mind drift off to sleep, and I’m thinking on the past year and coming home from school again. I remember how much I wanted to leave Murfreesboro at the end of my freshman year, and how much I didn’t miss it. This year is different. I’ve developed a connection with that town that I can only describe as a second home. It may just be my anticipation about the kick ass house I’m moving into in August, but Knoxville just doesn’t feel completely right now a days. In the past 12 days of being home I’ve found myself doing things reminiscent of last summer. Djing for the same company, visiting the same spots as always, and yet this summer is so vastly different. The one thing that is completely necessary about this time at home is the true intake of the past 9 months or so. It’s so weird to know that I was a completely different guy focused on different things back then. Truthfully being an RA kept my mind off of a lot of the shit I was going through, but somehow the combination of having your heart broken straight into school doesn’t really work haha. I’m in a great place in my life right now because I’m able to just work on me. The phrase I’ve used recently is “In a committed relationship with myself”. This is because the past year kept me from thinking through and dealing with certain things. I’m thrilled to spend this summer working, saving money, being healthy, and reconnecting with friends new and old. 

Most importantly- I’m planning a trip out west in July more than likely.

Late nights, I should sleep. I’m djing for 9 days straight starting tomorrow. Time to get at life. Be easy-
