Eddie's x three

I know I want the kind of love that Lori McKenna writes/sings about, just assume I'm not mature/wise/brave enough to recognize it yet. The last few years have been so great from a social, academic and professional development POV but I feel like I really need to focus on my personal/emotional space and growth at this point. On a semi related note...I most likely/definitely failed an econ midterm tonight but I also got to drink some whiskey and watch one of my favorite songwriters perform...I'll count that as an easy win.
