I’ve been put out with myself recently over how much I check my phone when I’m out with friends. Even sitting at the table with them while they’re telling a story, I’m flipping through some app or text message or email. This article confirms my concern. I don’t know when I began to think that behavior was okay. Maybe it was when most of my friends became just as...

Men like this.

My tumblog is 3 today.
I can only imagine where I’d be today if I hadn’t started this little collection of things I like. I can’t begin to name all of the friends I’ve made and experiences I’ve had thanks to my interactions here, but I’m grateful for all of them.
There there will be many more to come - friends, experiences, years - and I’m looking forward to every single one....
