Yo! Today I returned to the first place that I went to after my 2-week long mandatory hotel room isolation when I first travelled to the state a year ago. It reminded me how grateful I was for all the small freedoms I had taken for granted before, seeing peoples faces, feeling the breeze in my hair and the warm sun on my skin. It's so easy in life to sprint aboard the hedonic treadmill and forget that we already have everything that we need to be happy right in front of us. Perhaps we could all do to have a little more childlike wonder for the world, like I did that day.

I also reflected on pushing the first episode of the podcast out into the ether, and what that felt like: fucking fantastic.
