It was July 5, 2021. I had just come out of a great weekend with great people, but there was one thing weighing on my heart… and I couldn’t shake it. On my hour-long commute home, I thought about what podcast I would play to occupy me… Or perhaps what music… or perhaps what radio…
I typically don’t write a blog post that has no further implication for my readers than to hear something about my life. But this deserved a blog post (I reasoned), so I decided that any posts of mine that are solely for life updates I will entitle “Life Snapshot:….” First snapshot: Christmas day 2020. I…
