I’ve never really trusted doctors.
As a kid, I used to get searing pain in my upper back. I was incredibly active–I trained several days a week in Tae Kwon Do, and I even won the state championship in sparring. So yes, active. I saw at least 4 doctors for that pain, and was prescribed everything [...]

Truly content, even.
But then I have days like today–days where the tiniest of things trigger the darkest of emotions. It was nothing much. Our landlord asked us in an email if we wanted to stay here another month or if we wanted to go ahead and find a new [...]

It’s March now.
It came up on me fast–something about moving puts all of time on an accelerator, and my life is suddenly fundamentally different now than it was one month ago.
