I’ve been in dark places recently. I didn’t know if I was gonna make it through the holidays. Lots of depression, anxiety, and drinking.

Man, did I need a lift. And I got it.

My lovely friend @reslRachel E. S. Lösche visited us in Portland. We met for vegan food and uplifting conversation. She also brought her rad friend @dariusDarius Kazemi who I met for the first time at lunch. We have tons in common and I’m grateful she introduced us.

What a gift. This was a good day. ❤️

The three of us, close together shoulder-to-shoulder outside on urban sidewalk. We’re all smiling and wearing warm clothes. I have sea foam glasses, a beanie, a puffy jacket, and a long beard. Rachel has a beanie, a jacket, and headphones around her neck. Darius has red glasses, a short beard, and a sweater.
