everything I want to say is far too heavy to put out in such a public forum, and saying anything else right now would seem stupid and perfunctory, so...

it boils down to:

• my entire life has been completely flipped upside-down over the past few months.
  
• I have absolutely no regrets or desire to change anything that happened.
• with that said, I'm still so completely unsure about what's coming next, that I'm scared to death.

the end.

and I can hear mariachi music coming from outside my window. life is strange and beautiful.
