Forgive me folks, it’s been awhile! Next time I decide to take on a year long pause to Take Myself On, I promise to give you a heads up (: Although my loyal readers (looking at you TWT) know that I’m a come and go type of blogger; always have been and now I’m coming to accept that I might always will be.

The past year has been beyond wild. I can’t say that I wasn’t inspired to write, because I was. But I was more scared shitless to write because what I put out there has a tendency to come whipping back in my face. I was also scared to outshine people. Who? I don’t know, exactly. Anyone who would take offense to me living out my dreams I suppose. Well I’m over that now, and living too good of a life to not share, inspire and co-create with you. They gon judge me anyways, so, whatever. -kid cudi

I’ve learned a lot of life hacks over the past year or two and super stoked to give them away in upcoming posts, knowing the power they’ve had for me. More to come on that.

In the meantime here’s a quick catch up: Remember the My Future’s So Bright I Gotta Wear Shades post? Well it paints a great picture of what I’m up to these days (yep, goal setting works!!!). Living in the mountain tops of Vail, CO, going to band practice with my keyboard on Thursday, visited Vancouver twice since then + crushed my first half marathon, showroom manager for lululemon athletica…let’s skip to what I haven’t gotten done. Improv for Actors at Second City: looking good goal, no longer applies, scratch it off the list. Visit Palm Springs: I’m sorry Mom!! February work for you?! Blog 1x week: eek, holding myself accountable to getting back in action!

In the name of just getting back at it, I’m publishing this immediately, not letting it sit in my drafts box for another 7 months (no joke.) and proving to myself that it feels better to just rip off the band-aid and put it out there then feel the need to perfectly polish every last sentence and justify my absence for all 34 of my followers. Much love to each and everyone of you, more to come, pinky swear! xox
