It’s almost become running joke with some friends (not the relationships that have budded in this time, just the fact that it all happens at the same time) that its quite prevalent this year.

a few gems
Just like collecting marbles as a kid, I have come across several thoughts that I want to keep close to me and keep rolling them around in my hand. The second one, in regards to smoking is super helpful as I never knew how to balance that out in my mind. It makes me so [...]

The road less traveled
The road not traveled
Originally uploaded by IrenaS
