Beginning

In November of 2018 I moved into a fourth-floor penthouse apartment in Somerville’s Union Square. I was alone.

I had been living with my on again off again partner for the several years prior.

We had met my sophomore year of University. That was 2007 in Hamden, Connecticut. I was 20 years old.

Over a decade later and I’d decided it was time to split and fall farther – and harder – than I had before. And I’d fallen many times.

So I moved on my own. I had just been promoted to an Associate Design Director at IBM.

At 31 it finally felt like a good time to really bottom out. I could finally afford it.
