Last night, I reformatted and reinstalled my desktop computer. I backed up my files on two five hundred gigabyte hard drives before wiping away everything on the computer.

Today, I went to the “last” sunday brunch with Tom, Tracey, and others. I am quickly counting down my “lasts” with the way my life currently is. In many ways it is strange, as I know I’ll be back to visit and have opportunities to be part of the things I’ve had while I’m here,… Read more

Today is the last day of my twenties. I remember being a teen and being impatient about getting into my twenties. I felt that it would be a period where my life would feel more stable, things would fall into place, and a time where I would feel more confident in myself and the things… Read more

It is very hard sometimes once you are out of doing something habitually to get back into it. I’m finding it hard to find time and energy for writing here… Yesterday, Annie mentioned that I should start blogging again. Partly because I enjoy it so much, and also because there is so much happening in… Read more
