I Got Married

so i had to disconnect from the grind for a bit

Hey friends,
Hope you are doing well and living life in the best way possible — whether that's with work, fun stuff, or even non-work serious stuff, whatever it may be.

The last three weeks or so have been some of the busiest I’ve ever been in my entire life, and this time it actually wasn't with work.

I’m the type of person who loves my routine, loves my career, and quite frankly, loves working on the stuff that I'm building.

Whether it be proper design work, content about design, or anything in between.

With that mentality, though, I sometimes have a hard time fully disconnecting from the work.

And I think the main driving factor of that is when your passions and main hobby become your actual career — and becoming the MAIN thing that makes you money.

The more work you put in, the harder it feels to justify stepping away. It feels like you're doing a disservice to yourself to not always be on the grind, so to speak.

However, the last couple of weeks I had been preparing for one of the biggest moments of my entire life — and it was not related to graphic design.

Sometimes I can feel like my life is dictated by what I do as a professional rather than just the things I do as a human.

But this past week...
I got fucking married!

By far one of the biggest milestones I’ve ever hit in my life — and just an overall amazing experience.

Not only did I get to celebrate with all my closest friends and family and marry my best friend Erika,
I also kind of trained myself to actually celebrate — to fully disconnect from the rat race for more than just a week at a time, and really put effort into a personal experience.

So sorry I’ve been a little bit MIA, but hopefully this explains why.

The wedding was so sick.

I’ve got a few snapshots I can share with you now, but I’m still waiting for the amazing photographer to send over the rest.

And we even had one of the homies shooting on Super 8, so I’m super excited to see that as well.

Overall though — it was kind of perfect.

All my best homies were there.
My family was there.
We had a freaking photo booth and someone giving Tatoos at the wedding lol.

It was just great to celebrate love with my now wife Erika and have such a dope celebration in our own home.

We had the wedding at the very house we first met at and now live in. That full-circle moment hit hard.

It's still taking me some time to fully process it all, but I’m just really grateful that I’m in a place now where I can disconnect from work and enjoy these big life moments.

Because it’s so easy — for myself, and I’m sure for many of you too — to get wrapped up in work or art or projects that feed the creative side of us… or, let’s be honest, even the ego side of us sometimes.

So this was a cool experience to have — to just fully soak it up and live it up.

Thank you all for being here with me along the ride.

It’s wild to think I started sharing online during Covid, at one of the lowest points in my life… and now we’re here.

So much dope shit has happened between then and now.

And now I get the honor of sharing this milestone with all of you — me getting married!

I honestly couldn’t do any of this without the support of everyone who digs what I put out into the world.

So shout out to y’all.

Anyway — that’s what I’ve been up to.

Excited to get back into some cool projects coming up soon.

Hope y’all are enjoying stuff outside of the career rat race every now and then too.

Much love,
Talk soon ❤️
