Just Say No

I really don't want to do this tonight. I'm traveling, I'm exhausted, and there's less than seven hours left before I need to wake up again. I don't want to write. I'm saying no tonight. And that's okay.  

Name

An excellent way to improve your life Move with the whims of your heart's delight Adventure will always be on the horizon No other experiences could have made you wizen Don't ever forget the places you've been And never stop searching 'til your heart's content

What You Don’t Know

To whom it may concern, -I feel like a fraud every day, in every situation. Today is no exception. This is no exception. -When I say I'm shy, I mean I have social anxiety.

I remember we bought a huge house for rather cheap in Vegas, furnished … Continue reading Shopping – If I Had a Million Dollars

Missed Connections

“I wanted to know more about you,” if not in the moment, he’d at least have a way with words after the fact. “I wanted to know everything but instead couldn’t ask anything…” This was the fifth missed connections post he’d written in the last…three months?
