voluptuous hugs and wide-mouthed smiles stretch for you, halifax, and the endlessly incredible friends of mine that dwell within you. this city feels more like home than home ever did, and i feel truly lucky to have spent my early twenties discovering you. every day i witness or experience genuine displays of kindness and love, so i wish to only throw it back and spread it a little further.

thank you to my friends and loves for contributing to my fat and happy heart. it wilts a little (a lot) at the notion of a lengthy leave. sloppy kisses for you all. —lone bean
