19 of 2019
It's been an insane year personally, existentially, politically, Dodgersly and many other -slys for me (and I know it's been even tougher and stranger for a lot of my friends...) with crazy highs and lows, some sleepless nights, a lot of fretting but also some hope and genuine happiness. Throughout the insanity there's been some amazing bright spots - moments, songs, films, and art - that helped me get through the dark days (soooo many dark days...) and punctuated the good ones. If you know me you know that the end of the year is one of my favorite times because it's Best Of list time - the time of year when everyone looks back on their bright spots and shines a light on the good stuff. So with that spirit in mind here are mine and a few of my friends' 19 bright spots from the year 2019.
