The Notes of Emotion
It’s a simple song;the notes touching the invisible stringsof emotion running through you,without singing any words. You can’t help but feel calm,and sometimes — you can’t help but cry.Playing reminders of the pastwith notes built by the pieces of your life.

The Motivation to Run Has to Come From Somewhere!

Probably Work
What have I complained about recently? Amazon Prime is now charging a fee to remove ads on their video streaming platform, but that’s not what I complain about the most. That goes to work and the headaches it comes with when you’re there for years. From the frustrating tasks, coworkers that can get under your skin, Continue reading
