37And it obviously does kind of suck
to hear right before Christmas, like,
“Oh, yeah, by the way, after Christmas
you’re not coming back.” I try not to
get too involved or bother myself with
the politics of it all. But you’re like,
“Okay, that sucks. It could have been
something fun.” But I enjoyed my last
few months there. I really did.
Digest: You really represent the
lone person on canvas from a
very special era in the hearts of
so many DAYS fans.
Bjorlin: Thank you. Personally, even
though I’m trying not to be biased about
it, it’s an odd decision to sort of wipe
out the group that represents people
in their 30s, I guess you could say.
I was like, “That’s interesting.”
Digest: This year marks 20
years since you started,
which you included in
the Instagram post back
in January that alluded
to your departure. What
does that mean to you?
Bjorlin: Yeah, 20 years! I
kind of meant it a little bit
cheeky, but they say after
you do something for 20
years you become a master
of it. I was like, “I just bare-
ly missed that! Damn it.”
It’s nostalgic. It’s amazing
to think back on. I’m like,
“Oh, my gosh, it’s been
most of my life.” Well,
now really, technically,
more of my life. I’ve
grown up there and
made so many mem-
ories and made so
many friends and
done so much. I’m
so grateful for it.
It’s always going
to be a part of who
I am. It’s cool. I stay
