We all have trackable electronic devices containing our most personal, intimate, and financial information, as well as internet access and video cameras to share everything we…

It’s been a MINUTE. Incredibly enough, things have gotten exponentially better. Took my sweet time re-reading some of my past posts, every week or so at random, and I gotta say, the darkness was real. The mental and emotional haze caused by instability and loss of control doesn’t allow you to see any further down the…
