“Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards.” -Soren Kierkegaard This is always true, but feels especially obvious looking back on past relationships and the fights you’ve had with people you care about. No one wants to be the “crazy girlfriend” or the “bridezilla” or the “bossy bitch friend,” but it’s …
Lately, I’ve found that I haven’t been out to see Mr. Bones as often as I’d like. There are a few reasons for that. First is that when you have a ton to do, it’s really easy to point to a three hour chunk of your day labeled “Horse” and say, if I just eliminate …
