Despair

What a terrible nine months it’s been. There’s so much to write about, but I think for now I’m sticking to my current health nightmare. I’m currently in the hospital with a bone infection. Specifically the bones in the second and third toes of my right foot. I wrote a while back about the second-degree...

By the way, apparently hurricane season in Cancun is from June to November (#TheMoreYouKnow). If...

Death, Life, and Anxiety

Something something something, clearing my throat (maybe I’ll rewrite this). DEATH A couple years ago I wrote this, and since then I’ve more or less been a hermit. It’s been a terrible few years. Two days after I wrote that, my dad died, which was mostly a relief, but still horrible. This is part of...
