February held a lot of quiet momentum — small bets placed, new rhythms found.
Four cities, four different lives, all turning something over at the same time. The month nobody posted about, preserved here for all of you.

This month I…
mostly worked and tried to make more plans during the week instead of just going straight home every night. Saw Martin Garrix for the first time...was insane.
Something I'm looking forward to
Going to the Knicks game on Tuesday
Something nobody asked about
started learning how to DJ

This month I…
tried cooking more at home instead of ordering takeout every night, which actually went better than expected. Went home for a weekend too — first time in a while. Felt good and a little strange at the same time.
Something that surprised me
How therapeutic cooking actually is. Like, genuinely. I get it now.
Something I'm looking forward to
Getting outside more once it's finally warm again. March better deliver.
Something nobody asked about
Trying to get off my phone before bed. Day 4. Not going great.

This month I…
randomly decided to get back into running and ended up signing up for a half marathon in April. We'll see if that was a terrible idea.
Something that surprised me
how much better my weeks feel when I actually keep a routine during the week
Something I'm looking forward to
being able to run outside again once the weather warms up

This month I…
started a new job at a startup and spent most of the first two weeks just trying to keep up and figure out where everything is. It's good. Also kind of exhausting in a way I didn't fully expect.
Something that surprised me
How much energy it takes to be the new person. I come home and I have nothing left. Getting better though.
Something I'm looking forward to
Visiting Sam in Austin next month. Need it more than I realized.
Something nobody asked about
I've been stress-cleaning my apartment every Sunday night before the new work week. Not sure if this is healthy or not but the place has never looked better.
