What is something others do that sparks your admiration? I’ll admit something mildly scandalous (in the psychological sense, not the TMZ sense). I am deeply, profoundly envious of people who are oblivious. Yes, the blissfully unbothered, the cheerfully unaware, the folks who stroll through life as if chaos […]
Do you ever see wild animals? Some days the universe sends you profound wisdom. Other days it sends you a photo of a gorilla mid–high kick, and honestly? Same level of healing. I recently came across an image that stopped me mid-scroll (a rare feat these days). A […]
