happy birthday splash! 9 years is an incredible level of consistency I can only dream of so hopefully catch me on 2033 posting the same. love the summary of sixteen and again with your photos and writing, it feels like a proper coming-of-age story, of a boy becoming a man, yet still making space and love for his boyhood.

also i love in particular that one of the sixteen lines is just… I love the snow — sometimes it is just that simple :)
