  • Missed Connections

    I stare at my reflection, too bored to watch the clothes tumbling anymore. It’s so loud in here but it’s something you get used to. I’m lucky that it’s a twenty-four-hour laundromat. I like coming down here when the gossipy… Continue reading

  • End of Semester

    I haven’t written in a while because for a long time I just didn’t know what I was doing. But the semester is now over for me, all my assignments are done, and I’m just on holidays awaiting grade releases.… Continue reading

  • What am I Doing?

  • 2 for 2019 so far

    I’ve made a resolution to read much more than I have been and starting at the end of last year I’ve been buying books and starting to read them in order to get back on track. I wanted to be… Continue reading

  • 2019
