A Very Lengthy Update ft. Seizures

Welp, it is already September of 2023, and a lot of life has been lived since my last post highlighting all of 2021.

I’m sure I’m missing a few key highlights in there as well… I do want to revisit the awesome things that have happened over the past few years and make some blog posts with the main intention of documenting the memories and pictures! Life surely is crazy.
