Santos) Hello there, It's been such a long time since I've written you a tiny letter (and I know, they're not so tiny). Per usual, I stay busy. My mind has been marinating on projects left and right. Like many people, I can't believe it's November. So much has happened and I've been trying to keep up with my writing practice and stepping into the creative mode thanks to a few collaborators encouraging me to write in ways I haven't written before. While I may not be producing viral content (that was never my goal and actually should not be a goal for anyone - trust me, likes and hearts are not going to make things better in your life), I'm much more content with where my work is going. Ah, maturity. I'd like to think I'm aging (intellectually, emotionally, and physically) as gracefully as possible. I'm trying. But seriously, you have to be authentic about your passions. I'm going to sound self-helpy, but you can't do what you think people will read, watch, and/or care about. YOU, above everything, need to care about what YOU are producing and putting out in the world. In any case, feel free to drop me a line and say hello.
