That photo i submitted for me in the Zero shirt is actually from now. She is the self I’ve found after twenty five long years of searching. MCIS came out during my senior year of college, as I was contemplating and ultimately making a cross-country move, away from my family and a painful period, into a (not-so) shiny, brand new life. I still vividly remember that first winter in my new life in late 1996, when Thirty-three was playing on the radio in the cold morning on my way to work and it was the most beautiful song I had ever heard. It represents for me the heartache and the joy and the fear and the suffering and ultimately the peace of growing older and wiser; of change, and also nostalgia. Namaste.
