Happy Birthday to Me

2023: My year in review, or why I am starting to sympathize with Mdme. Loisel
Note: Hey, whatever…just needed a place to track and store some of my intrusive and silly thoughts. I know others have it harder, I know the world is on fire and being emulsified with a mixture of gasoline and blood…I know.

#mentortext #monday: RAFTS
Not me having to take a few deep breaths to calm my spinning brain down so I can pretend to be a linear thinker for a few hours… Here we go!
