Teor,

the logs look normal. maybe I've misinterpreted not opening the listening ports as not starting. I didn't check the actual systemd service status (silly me, I know). it's running now so next time I encounter this, I'll double check. 

I also noticed in journalctl that it (Tor) wanted me to add 'ExitRelay 1' in my torrc to disable the exit relay warning and for future config requirements (it said). so i did that as well. all seems well as of now.
