    Getting over my own self…again

    January 4, 2021 / 0 Comments

    An important note of digression: the Universe's favorite thing to do to and with me is to wait for me to say the word N-E-V-E-R. "I'll never get married." "I'll never have a full-time job." "I'll never teach." "I'll never..."
