I want to fill you, I really do. I want the hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of words that are circling in my head to find their way back to you. I want to ask you questions and evoke answers that challenge me to see new shades of gray. I want to enlist you to […]

by

There is something so retrospective about the last days of the year. Any unoccupied moments leave my mind wandering to this time last year. My hopes. My dreams. My fears.
