Sort of a crossroads year. Trying hard to figure out what I wanted my major to be, what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. It took a while after that, but I figured it out eventually.

Waking up every morning to the smell of honeysuckle and the sound of our neighbor's cat on our windowsill.

Wondering why his big brother wore a long ponytail 'like a girl'.
