Twice in a Lifetime (Part Two)

About That Rumble Thing
I normally use my birthday (1/23) to grant myself a rare indulgence and post something introspective. The truth is, I wrote something lengthy—twice—about certain themes and lessons taught to me in my youth that seem to have been abandoned by … Continue reading
