Here I Am, Alive.

Hey, I'm Dan. 27. Thriving. I like sunsets and sad songs. But more than that, yeah, happy to be back here.

“There’s nothing wrong with someone saving my life, I’ve realized, especially when I can’t trust myself to get the job done right. People need people. That’s that.”

— Adam Silvera

“Some things are hard to write about. After something happens to you, you go to write it down, and either you over dramatize it, or underplay it, exaggerate the wrong parts or ignore the important ones. At any rate, you never write it quite the way you want to.”

— Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

Today's sunset view. Glad that I just didn't laid on my bed the whole day today.

2022 was a lot of things.

Personally, it became a time when I allowed myself to step back, to heal, to learn more, and to lean into life aspects that makes me happier and live in the moment more.

I am realizing now that this year, I allowed myself to just be. And that has been wonderful. It goes without saying that it ushered in many life changes, new decisions and shifts in dynamics. I'd like to think they're for the better. Either way, I learn and I lived.

Cheers to the year that has been, and to year that will be.

If I could beg one thing of my childhood, it would be this: please stay a while longer. One last game. One last song. One last time playing pretend in the woods, where you can be anything you want to be. One last piece of soft hope before you become a memory that grows hazy year by year.
