Trying to Embrace the End of the Eras Tour
A little over two years ago, I fought Ticketmaster and was one of the very fortunate ones to score Taylor Swift - The Eras Tour tickets at face value. Unless you live under a boulder, you’re well aware how iconic the Eras Tour has become…but back then, when we bought the tickets we had NO IDEA what we were in for or what the Eras Tour would become.

Six years is a long time without your best friend
I’ve been thinking a lot about friendships lately. They change and morph throughout our lifetimes. As many of you know, I started this blog after the passing of my lifelong best friend in 2018.

Last week got heavy for me. As I looked back over the posts I wrote shortly after Heather’s death, it began to weigh on me again. And while I feel it is so important to make other’s more aware of suicide and its devastating impacts, I also cannot let those consequences pull me down.
