Letter 47

Henlo nerds!

How’re you now? Me, I’m grateful to finally recover some sleep. I didn’t realize how sleeping only 3-4 hours a night was affecting me. I was like a functioning zombie.. zoning in and out, mumbling responses in conversation and answering my messages half asleep. I struggled being present and my mind was cluttered. Once upon a time, I read or heard that the adult body only needs 4 hours of sleep to function. This is a damn lie, especially trying to do it for a week straight.

Welp - here’s some stuffs I thought i’d share with you this week, bud.

1. I can’t draw for shit in real life, but I can photoshop fairly well. I learned a lot from the Myspace/Limewire days and got to do a lot of dumb but creative things when I was younger. Last year, I thought it would be funny to put one of my big headed friends on an anime character I didn’t know much about. I recovered and cleaned up that old file and man, i miss doing this shit for the lulz:

   

   can you guess which one of my ugly besties this knock off is?

2. I’ve been in my head for the past few weeks about moving, even if it’s not THAT big of a deal. I’m not moving across the country or to a different universe, but i’m still scared of the big changes it entails. It took me going back to the book Courage is Calling to be reminded, “Courage calls to each of us. Will we answer? Or maybe that’s too much. Can we get better at answering? Can we step up more times than we step back?”

   

3. Here’s a favorite photo since the last spam. My homie from back back in the days has been working on his coffee shop/cart for years and he’s starting to get it off the ground. The design behind his craft is so intentional and inspiring. I can’t wait to see the growth of his bizness, No Days Off Cafe.

   

Yeah so,

I’ve recently applied for a shitload of ambassador and product field testing programs because why the fuck not? I’m crossing my fingers I get at least one. I figured with all the time i’m going to have, I might as well chase what I can; especially if it fits nicely into my outdoor hobbies. So if you see me spamming more ads on Instagram later this summer,

Until next time -
