I am an extremely superstitious person. My mom had me believing my itchy hand meant money was coming my way and that an upside down broom swept unwanted guests away. I thought it was a very odd thing growing up so superstitious. Now, I miss it. I miss […]
We are in the middle of September of a year that has either gone by too fast in that it barely existed or too slowly in that we are stick in a neverending morbid loop. Both perspectives are right. This year barely happened. Yet everything, or almost everything, […]
