Apart from the frost a few days ago, itās the time of year nature is begging you for a photoshoot.
I made sure I got all the angles of the blooming trees at the library.
Everything communicates with you if youāre listening.

Aināt it funny how the universe has a way of shaking you loose when itās time to go? It doesnāt make mistakes either.
Iāve definitely been feeling the winds of change latelyā¦and theyāve thrown me into an unbelievable set of new opportunities. Iām excited.
Itās spring a day from now. Itās not just the wind, a whole season of change is here.
Embrace it. Good things are still happening.
Look around you.

My Texas rose, my sunrise I wake up to every morning, my home when weāre on the road, and my calm in any storm.
Someone incredibly special was born on this day.
You amaze me with your artful intelligence, and your warm, peaceful personality radiates on even the coldest of days.
While I reflect on our adventures so far, I celebrate the birthday of someone who gave me a reason to believe again.
I love you Angela, canāt wait for the rest. What a treat it is to know you, and what a privilege it is to be so close to you.
What a dream it is to be loved by you.

Thereās something about the light around the holidays here in the Carolinas that just hits softer, canāt particularly put my finger on it.
Forget it exists while bustling about the Northeast the rest of the year.
Just feels sweet.
Happy holidays.
Peace.

Nothing like starting a new decade with a first.
This upstate lad has been a Bills fan forever, but I started my 30s off by going to a game for the first time ever.
Itās me so of course itās hella symbolic.
All my life I built up the meaning of youth and for some reason, gave it an expiration date. For me that was 30, like socially it seems to be for most of us, whether thatās a reasonable deadline or not forā¦.whatever.
In reality that was all anticipation for nothing. All along I spent 30 years finding out youth and ambition are a state of mind - so long as you do the work to preserve them and water the roots of whatever your purpose is.
I always felt like I was up to something for the majority of my 20s. I felt like I had limited time to make a major breakthrough. I lost my light somewhere along the way when it wasnāt happening immediately. I felt like love wouldnāt be fun anymore the closer I got to exiting my 20s. I was afraid of losing others to time because of how old I felt I was getting.
Then one morning this week I woke up and not only was it all still there - it was better than where I left it.
All the people I was afraid of losing were still there too, one of which was sitting in the stadium seat next to me.
Iāve learned how to take my time. Now I feel like I have more of it.
Iām taking things less personally and seeing the forest for the trees.
This stadium closes at yearās end. A new one opens next season. I wanted to experience it in person and pay homage to something that makes me who I am.
All along I closed my own stadium of a decade past, and now Iām more me than ever.
The next chapter starts with taking less for granted every day.
As ever, thank you for today.

Ps, thanks @buffalobills
Iāve been moved out since 17 but I love where I come from. In being out in the world for so long, you meet a lot of special people and wanna know about where they come from.
Ange took me to her hometown Austin and I fell in love with the open road all over again.
Hospitality, cowboy charm, Latin flavor, great food, great people, a twist of eccentricity - it all had me feeling right at home.
We live in a big place. Things also get weird when you feel like youāre living through important points in history.
In these moments itās important to go outside. I need to remind myself you can find a good time, people just like you, and if nothing else, some kind of understanding in the land between the coasts.
Thereās a lot of it and I want to see and understand it all.
Thanks Texas.
Thereās an opportunity for everything everywhere.
