Life Happens

I don’t even know what that means, “that” being “Life Happens”, but I need a title, and more importantly, an excuse. Surely, I cannot disappear for three months and then come back without saying anything, as though I was just here a week ago, or even a month ago. Some might say that we don’t…… Continue reading Life Happens

(Post written and prepared in a [little] hurry using a mobile device, Samsung Galaxy Note8 specifically, so if you come across typos and other errors, please excuse me.)
