Remember when I said in my last post that the journey is just as important as the destination? Well, to be totally honest with you, the journey matters even more. To me, anyway. I’m not that good at being a tourist. I know how weird that sounds. A bad tourist? […]
I’m not actually a Toy Story fan. The reference serves its purposes, though. Anyways, I forced myself to sleep three hours earlier than my usual 4 a.m. bedtime, and the entire night consisted of restless naps in between disruptive periods of waking up, heavy-headed and confused, only to somehow fall asleep […]
