Hilarious. Could myself of a year ago have imagined he’d shortly be invited to an internship in glamorous New York, working on one of the most advanced JavaScript codebases in existence, with some of the most interesting and knowledgeable people in the business?

As another year ticks by, it’s another sobering reminder to remain open-minded to the future and at peace with the present. Everything’s in the Lord’s hands anyways.

  1. Your life has been incredible lately, no doubt about that. It is interesting to reflect on how narrow our perspective is too, isn’t it.

    I’m sorry not to be seeing you this birthday, these will be first of our birthdays to ever not be celebrated side by each. Come home soon and we’ll go out for a drink to the future.
