It’s funny how things turn out sometimes. I was just telling my friend the other day that this week has felt so dreary. So unmotivating. So...depressing. Surely, this doesn't sound like anything new for all of us living (read: surviving) in 2020. But for those of us residing in the Northern Hemisphere, prone to the …
October 2020. A bittersweet month. A milestone month. An unexpected month. A month when, a year ago, my best friend asked me to marry him.
