Another ( justified ) absence
This time I can justify it This year has been a year of unplanned hiatus’ galore, and I think that this is my fourth one. And maybe this is an excuse, or maybe it’s a justification. I feel like I can’t write about what I want to write about How can I understand the struggles…
