I love to travel, try new foods, ingest caffeine, and watch political news coverage. A psychologist by training trying to bring a little common sense to it all.
The day you were born everything was new Still, I kept the whispers of history close by I kept it all for you. You brought an extra bright light into my life You made me laser focused You provided a multi-angled prism from which to live You laugh […]
The day I have been waiting for finally came. It was six months in the making but I had to hide my time for what was right. A colleague was completely excited about the solar eclipse but I felt uninspired as my particular location was not an optimal […]
