Where do I begin?…4 years ago I moved from Astoria, OR back to Fairfax, VA. The goal at the time was to attend grad school and to be near my Grandpa and my uncle as they neared the end of their time here with us. It felt like I was also running out of time…

I want to do things differently this time. I want to learn to love myself and to live for myself. I want to celebrate the existence of everyone I meet and to expand my capacity to love and be loved. If I cannot do these things and much more then I am damned to continue this cycle of losing everyone and everything I love. I don’t want to lose anymore…

I hit the road in 4 hours - on the same day that I began my first journey west in 2015.

This is my reality and I am blessed to have it, the good, the bad, all of it.

Thank you for everything Virginia,

Chris
