Do it. Do it.

I had a tumultuous but amazingly inspiring day. I have so much to say about it, but frankly don’t have the energy anymore. All I can say about it now is that it is always worth it to do the right thing, even if there isn’t an immediate (or...

Stupid buggy.

Buggy that is in my throat and chest. Stupid.

Today I was so looking forward to going to my grandparent’s house. They are going to be moving to an apartment soon, and so the beloved house that my grandpa built with his own hands – they never had a...
