Well, I don’t.
How do you want to retire? I don’t want to. I want to live my life. I spent so many years being strapped to prescriptions, internal pain, and external pain that now that I have finally finished that part of my journey, I don’t. Not even close, I finally feel that time was my job.Continue reading “Well, I don’t.”
Eyeore, the donkey.
How do you feel about cold weather? I love it. There is zero doubt in my mind this character embodies how I feel about it. It is not a scathing depiction, saying he was depressed.
