Pills to Swallow

The sum of the past 3 years. I believe cycles happen in 3’s. I imagine my vision is so pointed + sharp by now, certainly I am well-prepared for whatever comes next. Two of the most valuable takeaways I gained this year came through my dearest friend. They are— 1) We are all here having [...]
