Like every object and each subject within the cosmos our existence is relational. No human was ever created alone. No human ever came into the world alone, and no human was ever meant to live this life alone (even introverted introverts). You are not a rock, nor are you an island. You will feel pain […]

Someone once said that time heals all wounds; maybe. I can only speak from my own experience and my owned grief. What time has allowed me is plot and perspective to ponder what my life has been about. What my life could have been about, and what my life should have been about. Like rings […]
