4 Sean

Sean has been on my mind a lot recently. First, I was fortunate enough to get his huge, down North Face jacket. I love it and it reminds me of Sean every time I get to where it, which has been a lot recently.

The second reason is because of the Santa Rampage. It is an event that I have thrown together that requires everyone to come in costume. The part that got me thinking about Sean was making the video below. We used to make videos like this in college and it was probably the beginning of me finding the path that I am currently on. I think that Sean and I both shared a sense of self-doubt about our creativity that drove us into self-destructive behavior before learning that it was okay to try and okay to fail as long as you keep working and are ultimately happy with what you are creating. Although I am never happy that Sean is gone, I am content with the fact that when he did leave us he was in a good place with his creativity. Because creative is who and what Sean is was and will always be.

I really fucking miss you.

Each of us must choose to mourn Sean's death in our own way. I helped create this blog so that people would be able to share their feelings about Sean without being judged. Thank you for sharing.
