Today Looks Different - 2022

On July 7, 2020, I sat on a beach in Florida, surrounded by friends and not a care in the world.
On July 7, 2022, I sat alone on a beach in Michigan, quietly tracing the shape of a life that had changed beyond recognition.

That day marked two years since my first love passed away. The world looked the same — sky, water, sand — yet nothing about it felt familiar.

Grief has a way of repainting everything you thought you knew. The ocean was still blue, but it carried a different weight. The air still smelled like summer, but it no longer felt warm. Today Looks Different is about that subtle shift — the way time keeps moving, but your eyes never quite see the same way again.
