Noise and the City is a little over three years old! When looking back through old Noise and the City blog posts, I am reminded of all that has ebbed and flowed over the years—both personally and professionally. I failed. I graduated. I lost loves of my life. I gained insight. I failed some more. I walked away. I trusted it. I tried again. I cried both tears of joy and pain. I persist. I want to thank all of you who are still here.
