Living
Yikes… Its been almost a month since I’ve written anything. What happened? Did I give up on my quest to find my own true happiness? Did I realize I couldn’t survive without the corporate chain around my neck? Did I decide that my pursuit for finding joy was nothing more than just being lazy... »
