Carolina...








The Quiet Epidemic is a project I've been following for the past few months since the documentary came on my radar, and I am so excited to see the final product once it's released closer to home. I briefly attended college with Lindsay Keys back at Alfred and am so excited to see such a positive reaction from those who've already been able to see it; the response online has been awesome to see, as well as the buzz it's been receiving across the board. Especially in the current healthcare climate, films and topics such as these are so important to continue to recognize and bring to the forefront.
It's taken me a little longer to pull the thoughts I was referring to here together, but as we're approaching February 2022 with alarming speed (time really no longer works as a construct), this seems like a good time to put pen to paper, so to speak.
As much as things have gotten back to normal, the question becomes what does normal look like now? It's funny to look back at 2019 as if it just happened yesterday, but there's a certain kind of clarity to the fact that that was over two years ago as well. As dark as things have gotten, there's still a bit of hope left in the world - or is that just change in the air? I can't help thinking it might be both.
This has gotten way more vague than I intended, but the spirit remains the same. I'd like to think I've taken what the last few years have given me and been able to figure out what that means for the future (whether that be short term or long term). I have to figure out what really makes me happy, and strive towards that. I think that's the only real way to be successful anymore - because if you aren't happy, then what exactly are you?
