I take up my pen (or rather, keyboard) again to tell another brief tale of my time in the UK last summer. My best friend Hannah and I were staying in Buxton at probably the best Airbnb we had the entire trip. (I say that because it was an entire flat and, most importantly, the … Continue reading Where Are the Eggs?

The Weight of Dreams
Bear with me here. This post might start out sounding like a depressing sob story, but the fact that I've had a dream crushed today (THANKS COVID) has made me think about the burden of dreams.
