There's no way to put into words the hole in my heart. My road trip partner, demon, old man, the only one who shared my affinity for watermelon, my best friend. All I pray is you are in a better place now, where your age and body have no more restrictions on your desire to run around, chase squirrels, play in the ocean, and eat all the foods I couldn't give you.

I wish I could have known this was going to happen when it did. I had so many plans to give you the best possible day and new memories before you passed. I'm sorry I couldn't give you my leftovers from dinner last night because it had onions in it, I'm sorry I didn't take you to go see Christmas lights for the first time sooner, and I'm sorry I wasn't laying right by your side when you took your final breath (but to be fair, that's because you never want to cuddle with me anyway 😂)
.
While it happened overnight, I know you passed peacefully, and that is all I can really hope for out of this situation. Thank you for all the lessons, both good and bad, you goof.
I love you, Jasper.
R.I.P King ❤️

Final from Seattle:
NY 26 - ATL 20

This one stings, but I'll ride with this team till the very end. No greater motivation to work than knowing how close we were to holding that trophy after 7 games. We all we got, we all we need.
Disappointed in how close we were, but proud of how far we fought.
.
Honestly, I never thought I'd be able to competitively play a sport a love, let alone be able to travel to a beautiful city to do it while representing the ATL with some of the best people I've met (and I guess the Lululemon uniforms are pretty dope too). Time to finally let my body heal after all these months of back to back injuries (pun intended), and head back to the lab to get better 🤙
Taking a break from being M.I.A.

No amount of words can express the joy and sadness I feel for reaching the end of thesis production. There are so many people not pictured here that really made this semester memorable and a huge stepping stone in my career. To all of you, you know who you are, thank you for putting your trust in me for this long, finding a way to make me laugh in the most stressful of times, and helping turn dreams into reality. I can't wait to work with you again in the future 🤙

Scroll ➡️ to the end for some BTS and stills of what is to come 👀
EASILY one of the most memorable nights of my life. This group of musicians has no idea how much they have impacted my life, and tonight was a reminder why I love them as much as I do. Hopefully there is a day in the future where I can make a music video, take pictures, or run stage equipment for them 😂.
.
And a special shout out to @shelbooh for the BEST birthday gift I could've received (even though we didn't realize we missed the meet and greet till after the show 🙃🙃🙃)
Required to post some old pictures since I'm missing this group of people a little extra today. GAMEDAY BABY, let's get it Noles 🤙
Realized I never really posted about this tattoo I got a few years back. The coordinates for the center of the 40 yard line in Doak. The spot that shaped me into who I am today as an individual, and creating so many lifelong memories with some of the greatest people I'll ever meet. Echoes F.S.U.
