2015 was an odd year. i graduated with my masters degree, traveled around the world, moved to a new city, and started my first real job. these milestones really helped to solidify a few things that i probably knew already. the biggest one, that i'll be grateful to have in my back pocket for years to come? that home is a feeling, not a place. home is where you feel alive and happy and excited to take on the next big thing. home is with the people that keep you going.
a recap:
- jan: i stayed with my sister in miami and then came back to snowcopalypse 2015 in nyc

- july: LA to SF, then a move to DC and my first job
- august: adjustment, cont.
- sept: back to my city, my N-Y-C
- oct: a visitor from the west (arguably best) coast; i bought a kitten
