Thanks?
As I write this, I’m in tears. I’m not quite sure why. It could be a combination of being tired and feeling isolated. For the past three years now, I’ve essentially lived the holidays through others by doing stories for the newspaper.
I need to be oiled
It’s funny the things that bring me comfort sometimes cause me great anguish. I’m like a vehicle that can’t be taken over a rough road because I get too rattled and break. I’m rigid and my shock absorbers don’t work well. I
Road Trip
