[Listen to advice] September 2019 I woke up melancholy, troubled by a corroding friendship. Since my friend, Robert, passed away, I've had occasions where I miss him dearly.

The Voyage: It’ll Be Alright
[Sweet friendships refresh the soul...] I have a twin. Or at least he will forever be my twin at heart.

I wasn't born a social butterfly, or if I was, it was short lived. My parents said that I … Continue reading Connected but not Connecting?: Here’s the Disconnect
