not really the year i anticipated or expected, but 2024 was probably the year i needed…
everyone strap in and prepare for Caleb’s big ✨reflection✨ so yeah, 2024 was a year for sure. i think coming off 2023 & all of the highs that came with going on a national tour, this year may have always been destined to be humbling. but you guys all know me at this point. there’s no middle ground. there’s intoxicating highs & crippling lows. & what they don’t tell you when you’re making money on tour is that when the tour ends, so does the money. so I spent all my money & had to move back to tulsa, which i don’t think i ever thought would happen. & when I moved back to oklahoma, it all managed to unravel even more. i did a lot of dumb things, hurt & disappointed family & friends, spent a night in jail, really tried my best to ruin everything. i guess i thought if i the wheels were going to fall off, i was really going to see how far we could take that…
& that could have been that. but what i didn’t realize is i have more than i ever thought. I thought for 5 years that what i needed was fame & money & this publicly lavish life. but i think all i ever needed was my people. a home. & much to my surprise, my loved ones didn’t give up on me.if anything they rallied around me & picked me up by my collar & forced me to get my s**t back together. i got to make art again after years of calling myself an “artist” but really just bulls**tting on social media. i published a poem. & directed a comedy’s special!! what’s the quote from the end of ‘It’s A Wonderful Life?’
“No Man Is a A Failure Who Has Friends”
& boy do i. so to those people who are in these photos & to several more who i did a poor job of documenting, thanks. I wouldn’t have been able to get through this year without you. anyways, that’s my big reflection. sorry for rambling.
