one year in nashville.

A year ago today I arrived in Nashville. Hungry and homeless. Things worked out pretty well.

This was undoubtedly the year that everything changed in a very short amount of time. I felt like I aged 3-4 years in a matter of months. I think this anniversary might warrant an ice cream cake.
