Hello all, 👋 Happy St. Patty's Day weekend! 🇮🇪 💚🍀 .

I've been dealing with some burnout and stress 😰😩 lately so I wanted to take a moment, count my blessings & recount 3 positive things in my life:

1. Sobriety still strong 💪 . Stress has brought on that thought to "escape"💭 a few times. Instead, I’ve doubled down on coping mechanisms, exercise & being firm with boundaries (no attending events centered around alcohol! 🍻 ) . Luckily, a train 🚆 full of drunk St. Patrick’s Day revelers was actually a perfect reminder why I don’t drink!

2. Learning Spanish 📘 and hoping to join an immersive summer 🔅 program. I’m not quite ready for the exam yet, but I can now hold (very) basic conversations 💬 around the city!

3. Photography 📸 has been really rewarding lately. Still troubleshooting some video encoding issues with walking tour 🚶‍♀️‍➡️ footage, and my Jan 2026 footage may not see light of day until next winter (lol). BUT the process itself has been worth it to tap into creativity and artistry 🎨 within myself I worried might be long dead 💀 .

Trying to stop and smell the roses 🌹 a bit more and remember small W's still count.
