Writing Life

The life most real to me. As evidenced by the preponderance of posts.

it's supposed to be

I’m trying to figure out my galaxy a bit, since I discovered waiting till I’m off work isn’t an option. The part of me concerned with finances is happy, the rest of me is a bit annoyed. I’ll be working till the end of June. Anyway. This time of year there’s a whole lot of […]
