One morning I woke up and went about doing my usual tasks. I woke up and made four cups of coffee. I looked briefly at my work phone to make sure nothing needed to be immediately addressed. I then looked at my personal phone to see what Twitter […]
I run, run, and run. I’m in constant motion to and from. I fidget. I bite my nails. I’m in constant motion. I’ve always been this way. I was born like this. A decade ago, I would walk 45 minutes in the morning to work and 50 minutes […]
