it's been a hard few weeks, and short of getting it all down on here for the world to see, i've had to make one of the hardest decisions of my life. i realized in the process of making it, that no matter my decision, the consequence is still something i will have to live with for the rest of my life. so i took that as a sign and as a way to give me a different outlook on things: i am going to take this as a second chance and dive into this life without reservation.

insomnia has a way of creeping in during these times. for the most part, it's usually just in a mere restlessness, or what i call 'the fear' taking over. but last night was different. wide eyed, fully awake, mind racing a million miles a minute. i read and devoured everything i could get my hands on, i thought about the possibilities that await me, and i reminded myself of the unfinished work i had left these past few weeks...

i'm working on a time-lapse project from my trip to the smokey mountains. but it's taking awhile, and, well, i'm a little impatient at the moment. so i thought i'd share just a little video of things to come. and in retrospect, this song's sentiment is so perfect to my current state of being... so, here are three of my insanely talented friends, just hanging around the echoing pool room in the (not-so-rugged) lodge we shared a few weeks ago, singing songs to pass the time, while i document them and sing along as quietly as possible.

oh, and this one's for my little moon child.
