We’ve all been there. Raging. Scrolling. Legs numb. Just me?
We struggle to articulate our thoughts and arguments. But there’s that perfect meme that will encapsulate the exact thing we’re thinking in the most passive-aggressive way imaginable.

“Your entire life happens inside your body.
It’s the one home you will always occupy and can never sell…

One body. One mind. That’s all we get.
 

13 Years since I Walked Away

13 years since I walked away…
from my dependable job with benefits and reliability. Still standing and thriving.
Don’t be fooled by the hype. It’s not easy.

I wish I could remember the last time…
they ran into my arms & then I tossed them in the air.

I wish I could remember. #fatheringfromadistance
