another postcard from philly

Philadelphia in the Fall | Paige DiTullio

hi 💛

another postcard from what once was my favorite city but has now become my home away from home.

over the last few weeks, a lot has changed, but a lot has stayed the same, too.

i’ve come to realize that every time i think i know something, or that i have something all figured out, i realize i don’t. for every step forward, i take two steps back. and for every big change in my life, at least two things stay the exact same.

so while i can’t predict where i’ll be a year from now, or even a month from now.. here is what i know to be true in this moment:

sometimes being in search of “the next best thing” doesn’t always mean it’s there.

instead, it’s about one good thing.. following that one good thing and seeing where it leads you. wholeheartedly, helplessly, hopefully.

sometimes it’s not about the person standing in front of you, but rather, the people standing by your side.

and sometimes, just like how the leaves changing when autumn hits, certain things fall together and fall into place so that you can have the time of your life.

i will always be grateful for this city, and i will always be grateful for you.

thank you.

see you again soon,
