Hey friend,

We gotta talk about why I hate learning.

My love, there are a lot of confusing hiccups on the path becoming a "grown up" employee. Heck, there a lot of confusing things about being one kind of "grown up" employee and trying to become another. It's like the Wild F*cking West out there.

And this learning thing? This is where a lot of us keep getting tripped up.

Hey friend,

In the world's most predictable turn of events, East London is suiting me quite nicely so far.

This statement is most specifically proven by the fact that I stumbled upon musician friends gigging on the street this morning while buying new house plants... and then accidentally joined the band for two hours.

Hey friend,

Packing. That's what I'm doing this week: I'm packing.

I'm wearing sweatpants and watching Gossip Girl reruns out of the corner of my eye (full recommend, btw) while I throw out junk and put other junk in suitcases.

Hey friend,

Here's what's new in my universe.

Transition-y things. 

I'm moving from one end of London to the other next weekend.

That's right, the gravitational pull of the hipsterdom of East London has finally won the day. Yes, yes, I'll be a Shoreditch kid from here on out.

Hey friend,

On my way out the door to a thing, but I'm first dropping in to share some food for thought on a Friday morning.

It's a quote I stumbled on again recently (from the motivational speaker, Mel Robbins) that I keep coming back to again and again....
