What are your biggest challenges? Dear 2024, Here we stand at the threshold of your existence, penning down my hopes and wishes for the next chapter. As a veteran of life’s ups and downs, I’ve decided to ditch the usual resolutions and instead, send you a letter—a heart-to-heart, […]

What’s your favorite game (card, board, video, etc.)? Why? I’m currently recuperating from surgery. I’m supposed to be happy to have some time off from work. Which I am. I’m supposed to be making the most of this time. Which I don’t whether I am or not, as […]
