Sowing The Seeds

(of love) I didn't want Tears for Fears to sue me because of the title. I planted the seeds for the soul garden last week, and I must admit that it made me feel a little emotional (in a good way).

Walking Through The Door

Last weekend was my first real trip since 2019. I packed a suitcase, held the mail, flew in an airplane, and stayed in a hotel.
