I’m going to preface this post by stating that I am aware what I am about to say may be wildly unpopular. Frankly, I don’t care. It is born from my experiences and if you don’t agree with my views you are welcome to walk away from this post and come back when I post … Continue reading The Gall of Children
Or am I? Time and I have a very unique relationship. It’s a very odd mix of time blindness and an acute hyper awareness of time.
