Cool mix Aaron, I think you did well! 
I know what you mean about the vocals, unfortunately I recorded it with a SM57 and too close, which was a big mistake and results in uneven sound, boomy and sibilant. But you did well with the material, and I think it sounds really good.
The only advice I could give you would be to automate an EQ on that vocal to get a more even sound, for example the "living a fantasy world" phrase at 0:58 and the "embracing life like there's no other" at 1:11 are very dark (this was comped from a few takes), so I would try to brighten these at least... Then maybe you could add a little bit of subtle delay on the vocal and tuck it under...
Your mix is a delicate one and did respect the theme which is light and dreamy.
I like it. Very nice job!
