I will miss these beautiful hills


Transition isn't for the faint, the sick, or really the sane to be perfectly honest. Neither is leaving the only place that ever felt like home, and a bay full of friends, lovers, family, mentors, and even some admirable enemies. Oh, and that big big big blue house. Always opening her arms to reveal a swarm of smiling faces (and a bevy of bicycles which if nostalgia can work her magic I may one day also remember fondly). There were just so many things I wasn't through with but sometimes when it is time to go, there is nothing left to do but leave.

What better way to kick off an epic departure than with a month of willful unemployment, a giant naked mural of myself on the half-shell, a stellar going away party, and a seemingly endless road trip with but one purpose- to hug the people most deserving of my last hugs.
