2011

2011, a void year:
no personal high water marks, but rather a durational cocoon, a tectonic shift towards something better; slow, imperceptible change. Seemingly painful and mundane in process, but in hindsight, we have evolved, grown, forged a stronger sense of self and perspective. All of it was masticated, digested, broken down: now we are left with nothing but the very essence, something closer to pure. let's see how we put it all back together again....

may all of your dreams come true...
