The end of summer is almost here and while I love wearing my hoodies, I’m not quite ready to give up the tank tops. Another big life-change comes this weekend after my bonkers roommate finally moves out and my two new roommates move in and we make the apartment a home.

This Tuesday also marks the 12 year anniversary of my dad dying. It will be the first time I’ll be commemorating the date while living in New York – far away from family…and I’m not really sure how I’m going to handle it. It’s weird how even after twelve years you can experience the same anniversary of loss differently each time.

But enough about that (for now) – I’ve kept you waiting for a new mixtape for too long already. Enjoy your long weekend and do me a favor: Hug your dads for me and tell them you love them.
