Hi there You, A couple night ago I had this hauntingly good dream. Not that type of dream. It was much better. When my alarm went off, I wasn’t ready to be done with it. I looked at the time and thought I have a few more minutes to snooze, so I shut my eyesContinue reading “February 28, 2021”

Hi You, There is so much on my mind, so much I want to share with you. It’s that same feeling you get when you set off to clean a room, but you don’t know where to begin. I started to jot down different things that I want to write to you about and thenContinue reading “February 24, 2021”

Hi You, Have you ever had one of those days where all you want and need in life is a hug? The type of day that when you come home, you just want to be engulfed in someone’s arms. Yesterday was one of those days. The past six years has felt like one of thoseContinue reading “February 20, 2021”
