I haven't really been wanting to do much lately because of the guilt. I feel bad when I'm doing anything other than thinking about Cocoa, looking at photos and videos of her, or just sitting with the grief. It took me a while time to...
I haven't been inspired to post on august morning for quite some time now, even though I have a bit of a backlog of photos I would like to share one day1. Recently, I came across Inventory Full's Blaugust Class of 2025 post again, where...
I was on auto-pilot in July. It's probably my worst month this year, or in quite some time. I'm still wondering how I survived, but here I am anyways. I didn't shout into the void that much, at least in digital form. I did plenty of...
