On The Dark.
SnapDragon originally posted this on Wise & Shine, formerly known as Pointless Overthinking. . . . I’m afraid of the dark. Like, for real.

On Friends.
This past month or so has been filled with visits from those who were starting to feel like long-lost friends. (Pandemically speaking, that is.) It truly has been joyous to see so many (vaccinated!) loved ones after at least eight(ish) months of diligent social isolation on our part. And I’m not gonna lie: it was […]
