      I wrote a bit about these past five years back in DC, how incredible they have been -- and how completely unexpected. http://chrisgeidner.tumblr.com/post/101057946211/five-years-back-in-d-c …

      When I went to bed my first night back, I was without a clue as to where my life was going -- or whether DC was even going to "work out."

      I was scared, because it was scary. But, I had some amazing friends who pushed me forward -- tho there were many steps back still to come.

      I still wasn't sure what I was doing (a problem that repeats itself at times to this day), but I kept pushing forward -- doing what worked.

          Within a month, @seanbugg found me -- and he & @RandyShulman got me writing for @metroweekly, as DC Council was passing marriage equality.

          Over the next 2 & 1/2 years, the Metro Weekly folks were so much to me, great friends who taught me how to turn my writing into journalism.

          I also figured out during that time that drinking had long stopped working for me, and that I had to stop. I'm so thankful that I did.

          I kept moving forward, w renewed vigor, & the moment found me: DOJ stopped defending DOMA just as I was preparing a 4-piece history of DOMA.

          The story of DOMA in 2011 led to more in 2012, as cases made their way to SCOTUS. At the EEOC, 2012 also brought big action on trans rights.

          I didn't appreciate how ambitious @peretti & @BuzzFeedBen's plans were (& I don't know that they did either), but I'm so glad he hired me.

          The past 2+ years have been even more incredible than those that preceded them. From the election to SCOTUS to Sochi to everything else ...
