OCTOBER 2013

In October I lit candles for my cousin, Ana, on the two year anniversary of her untimely death. I also buried my cat, Gizzy, who had been mine since I was six years old, in my childhood home backyard. It was a month of beating my fists into the mud. Of dismantling. Of Death Cab For Cutie. And then, of hurling myself into activities like painting the kitchen and living room, finding furniture, hanging art, and getting obsessive over Halloween. Miles & I threw a big party in our apartment, and dressed up as Sam & Suzy from Moonrise Kingdom. And I kind of never wanted to take that dress off. Still don’t.
