Take yourself home, to Seattle.

September 2020

Talk to me

There's nothing that can't be fixed with some honesty

Happiness is right there where you lost it when you took the bet

Counting all the losses that you can't collect

Get everything and nothing in life

I'm tired of the city

Scream if you're with me

If I'm gonna die

Let's die somewhere pretty

Sad in the summer

City needs a mother

If I'm gonna waste my time

Then it's time to go

Take yourself home, to Seattle.

I've wanted to make a video about Seattle for a long time—a very personal and deeply emotional one. Summer 2020 provided all the emotional ingredients for me to pour my heart into this short, two-minute piece.

That summer was strange. Not being able to travel almost threw me into an unexpected existential crisis. I lost my greatest weapon for dealing with emotional turbulence—traveling and letting go. With all the COVID restrictions, I had to stay home, stuck with my own thoughts all the time. It wasn’t easy. But this unexpected journey pushed me to explore Seattle & PNW more and reminded me how much I had taken this incredible city for granted.

Sometimes, the most beautiful things are right around the corner. We don’t need to go far to chase happiness.

Appreciate uncertainty. Appreciate life.
