I have an alcohol problem. No, I am not an alcoholic. I can go months without even thinking of getting a drink and the bar is just a place I pass on my way to work. No, my problem is with alcohol itself, or to be more precise, with society’s fondness for it. Now before […]
I have come to realize that I have a hard time giving up on people. I see the good in them, see the potential connections we could have, and refuse to give up on it. I meet someone and I immediately start thinking about how this person could fit into my life, both in the present […]
