Messy Monotony
I’ll be honest— if you haven’t figured it out by now based on my writing, I’m a mess.

The Power of a Glimpse
If there’s any one game of my childhood that follows you into adulthood, it’s hide and seek. It’s the one game where in the game of your own life you are “seeking” after what’s hiding, sometimes in plain sight.
