Re-Snap: Sing Out.
. . . A Re-Issue from The SnapDragon Archives: Originally Posted in March of 2019 . . . I love to sing. So, so much. Yet I was extremely bashful about doing so for the first–oh–seventeen years of my life or so. I still get self-conscious if I know people are listening; if I’m put…

Re-Snap: 90s Livin’.
. . . A Re-Issue from The SnapDragon Archives: Originally Posted in March of 2019 (There have also been slight revisions.) . . . I came of age in the 90s. And by ‘came of age’ I mean I survived the awkward annals of adolescence. Anyway, while I have no desire (none. zero. zilch.) to…
