it all makes sense

on the day when "that thing" (that's what i call it now, don't know why) happened about 2 weeks ago, anthony burrill announced a new series of prints early in the morning. i've been a huge fan of his for something like 4 or 5 years now, and try to get prints whenever i can because they're awesome and make me incredibly happy. the best way i can explain it is... you know how christians look at the bible and they accept it as truth, and they're like "oh it's the bible, so it's true". well that's how i look at anthony burrill's prints. there's just no arguing with them. 

anyway, while i was at work that day, i ordered a few prints. obviously i had no idea what i was coming home to later that night (otherwise i wouldn't have been spending ANY MONEY WHATSOEVER, haha).

with all that went on in the days and week that followed, it kinda slipped my mind that i had bought this print, and i was surprised to see a poster tube at my door with my name on it when i got home a little while ago. i opened it up, and there it was. 

whoa. i think i sat and stared at these four words for 20 minutes. talk about a swift kick in the nuts by the truth.

after giving it some thought, i sincerely don't think i've been more at peace with life and how it works than i have been in the last few weeks. this has certainly made me appreciate just how important and incredible my friends and family are. in a weird way i'm super grateful that this happened (not that i really had a choice in the matter, haha) because i've seen and talked to a lot of you, gotten and given some awesome hugs and high fives, and generally gotten back to being the person i want to be, which feels pretty freaking great.

shitty things are going to happen, and life is going to be tough, but i guess if you try your best, surround yourself with good people, smile more than you frown, and never give up... things can be awesome and maybe even make some sense too.

thanks again to everyone for being so awesome and kind in recent days. it means the world.
