He also attached a text: "My girlfriend and I are temporarily relocating to southern Pennsylvania . We plan to enjoy the outdoors, food, Giti, friends, and the little things I've missed in the summer and get back to some normalcy. I'm excited to be home again. I'm also excited to announce a new project that I hope you'll be hanging out with."
