3 (New Scars).
I've done a lot of stupid stuff over the years and collected some interesting scars because of it. Here's just a few of them 🙂
4 (Quicksilver Moments).
A theme throughout this blog has been one of quicksilver moments. The little slivers of time that seem to hang in the air for far too long and for a split second, everything seems, not perfect, not priceless, but pure.
