I’ve been wanting to “study” the affect experiencing poverty had on me in one particular area, which is… waiting. I remember when I was young, and “didn’t” have the money for something… I learned to “just wait”, and “save up”, for it. And would buy…
“Quick, Hide!”
I’ve had a full week this week. Having a week full of a few lows, a couple middles, and 1 or 2 highs. But the hi-lite for me was experiencing something I haven’t experienced since I was a small child. I find it intriguing, how,…
What’s Your Timeline? That Isn’t Fast Enough!
