## Caption

Here's to the sleepless nights dreaming, the longing for being on the road, and the folks who push me to be the best version of me. Another year around the sun, another end of year reflection. 

26 was full of stress, anxiety, but also oddly fulfilling at the most unexpected times. By no means do I have it figured out yet with this kooky industry yet, but something that I've come to realize is, I'm no longer the kid just getting his foot in the door. This year I met so many people who reaffirmed that I belonged there doing what I was hired to do. I've met numerous up and coming folks that I saw a lot of myself in, coming to the realization, I have more to pass down to the next gen than I thought. It's okay to stop and smell the roses, it's okay to take that coffee, open that DM, because I was once on that other side. 

There's something truly special about the scene here in SF, I see it growing, evolving, thriving! I'm so thankful for the opportunities I've had to be just a small part of a larger community that I know is going to skyrocket next year.

To another year of doing wild things with the best people I know. #27
