I would change how we interact with each other and focus on face to face interactions, even if only through video conferencing apps. I know a lot of people feel more lonely than ever because we SEEM to be so connected through social media. But we are not all connected as well as we need…

I’m back, for real this time
The squatter has departed. For good this time. I feel relieved and like there’s much recovery to take place now. I went to a place mentally I haven’t been in for quite some time and it scared me. Thankfully I had a therapist appointment this morning and got to talk about it and all of…

I like all music, with the exception of older, super twangy country music. It’s just not my jam. I don’t judge anyone who loves it and I suppose there are exceptions. I don’t consider Dolly Parton or Kenny Rogers super twangy but others might. I really enjoy rock, classic rock, 80s, 90s, disco, alternative, some…
