D.B. Woodside Instagram – My Dear Friend @rachaelharris, 

There are not enough characters or emojis to express how much I truly adore YOU. 

We have traveled many of the same roads in life with similar upbringings, similar relationships and similar “struggles.” 😉 

We’ve both been knocking around on several different shows for many years. We’ve had quite a few successes and many defeats in our careers but we’ve always come back stronger. 

YOU always come back stronger in every area of your life. You are an inspirational figure to anyone that knows you. Your wisdom goes unmatched. You are fiery, intelligent, hilarious, kind and are always ALWAYS supportive and nonjudgmental. Your children are blessed to have a mother like you. 🥰 Blessed! 

I love our time together on Lucifer and by phone and I look forward to celebrating all that is YOU in person when this Covid chaos is over. Happy birthday, gorgeous! I love you!
D.B. Woodside Instagram – What a fuckin’ year, am I right? Yes, there’s been tremendous pain and loss. No doubt. However, for me, it’s also been one of glorious self-discovery — as an artist and as a black man. 

See, 2020 unearthed pain in me that I never wanted to acknowledge let alone examine. Pain that I had been compartmentalizing since my youth. I never realized that by doing that, the torment I’d been suffering had seeped into many parts of my life as an Adult. It affected my judgement when it came to many of my friendships and it corrupted most of my relationships. Boom. That’s the truth. 

I know that I’m not alone in that. Many of you have done this for most of your lives as well. So while 2020 can kiss my ass I would always like to thank 2020 for bludgeoning me until I fell to my knees. For leaving me with nothing but myself. I had to become more intimate with me. I had to be brutally honest with myself.

I’ve lost friends this year. And that’s always sad. I wish them well (most of them). I’ve also found some new friends. Brave friends. Honest friends. Friends that challenge me to let go of old habits so that I can make room for new ones. Friends that embrace my introversion, my broodiness, and my optimistic spirit rooted in the type of pragmatism that comes from surviving in this city and in this country as a middle-aged black man. 

I have needed this year to cocoon while the world stood still. I needed to grow, to transform, and to heal. I won’t make grand declarations of what I’m going to accomplish in 2021. I will hold those dreams close. I will simply say that I will be present. I will be humble. I will be kind. I will be unapologetically raw. That’s enough. 

I’ll see y’all on the other side. 

Happy New Year Fam. 

– David
