- A person can be intensely lonely in a crowded room.

- Life is an adventure. Even in the everyday status quo mundanity of it.
Moral of this story: Adulting is
difficult. Unconventional adulting is more difficult. Finding who I
am and being okay with that person is a work in progress. Grace is
necessary. Neverland is calling.
