“Real Friends, how many of us? Its not many of us” Have you ever been around people and still felt completely alone and secluded? I feel a lot of people are lonely and don’t even recognize it. Knowing people you keep in touch with is far from the ballpark of…

BoJack Horseman🐴 There’s something refreshing about re- watching shows a second, third maybe fourth time 🙊and having a different perspective with each watch. I recently completed Bojack Horseman for the umpteenth time and this run was extra emotional because i had not seen it in a really long time so it hit…

Happy Birthday Midé 🎈 — I recently started writing about living with my health condition and ways it has/had an effect on me.
