Is that all you need?

I always seem to find myself right here, or somewhere around here, when life gets a little crazy and there are plenty of other things that need to get done. But here I am. I think I'll do everything else better and more efficiently if I can just get some things out of the way.

There are only a few days left of September and plenty more days left of my favorite season of the year. It always slips by so quickly, so I'm trying to savor the perfection of layering sweaters, pumpkin lattes, and leaves on the ground.

School is school. Lately it's felt like just another path to where I'm trying to get. It's necessary, even when it feels like nonsense. But really, tell me again why it's necessary for me to be able to calculate the distance from here TO EVERY CONSTELLATION IN THE UNIVERSE. Also, for the record, after over three years of discussing it in every class, I STILL DON'T KNOW WHY RACE EXISTS OR WHAT TO DO ABOUT RACISM. Let's just love each other. Do you think I'd get full credit on a test for that answer? I just want to play music with people. Just let me do that.

The two most important men in my life celebrated birthdays this month, and celebrate they did! I recorded Volcano by Damien Rice for my dad because he loves it. Here it is:

Things I love right now are fall, life, and love.
