24 years around the sun last week. Here is a non-exhaustive list of things that marked this one:
- Got to scale my business and create some art with the homies any and everywhere
- Traded (most of) the late night benders for early morning runs and coffee
- Ran an impromptu marathon with my bros in Cape Town and then ran a lot more half-marathons around the globe
- Got to bring some of my homies on dream projects abroad
- Got to skydive & travel to some pretty epic places with the lads: Monaco, Fiji, LA, Barcelonaā¦
- Got to pet some cute dogs on every single continent
- Resisted the urge to buy a labubu doll
- Lost a hat in Cape Town
- Decided to move out of Montreal pretty suddenly (more on this soon)
- DJed in a bakery in Paris, .at events in Bali and Barcelona (and moreā¦) with some of my best friends
Jokes aside, every year has been transformational but even more so this one. Iāve never had a clearer picture of how I want to spend my 20s and live my life. And this is in large part because of a near-death experience back in LA. Only really opened up about this to a few people but that s**t was eye-opening. There was a 3s period where my life flashed before my eyes and to my surprise I somehow couldnāt help but be filled with this strange feeling of comfort⦠Comfort in knowing that I had lived a good life and that in that moment I had no regrets. This all felt like a second chance at life. My biggest fear has always been to die with regrets and this experience was a confirmation for me that I was on a good path and living life to the fullest.
My only birthday wish this year is for this to serve as a reminder for you to not fall for the doomer s**t. If youāre reading this, keep fighting the urge to take anything for granted, life is fu***ng electric. Smile at the cashier in the grocery store, talk to the dude sitting next to you on the plane, and hug your loved ones fu***ng tight. Spread love and positivity because itās the strongest human frequency. You canāt add days to your life but you can add life to your days.
Much love,
