It’s been approximately three years and six weeks since the last time I blew my life up.

End of an Era
I sold my motorcycle back to my ex the other night after two or so years of deliberating whether or not I could actually part with it. While it no longer made sense to keep it (there really isn’t much about a motorcycle that’s practical to begin with), I had to unpack a lot ofContinue reading “End of an Era”
