Awesome
Hi Sloaner, Great to read your note, its like you are in competition with yourself for the most immersive experience possible. You are living a hundred lifetimes in such a short time, its overwhelming to take in from a blog, let alone living it. Miss you so much but its worth it seeing how much you are absorbing and growing and whittling out the person you want to become from you youthful self. I was really stressed at work this Morning, but your quotes and messages gave me pause about where the stress was derived from, and I feel so much better having thought about it in that way. Keep getting it done, much love, Steve-o aka biggest
