    Hindsight Is 20/20

    I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it before, but a lot of the times when I feel like throwing some words on this computer screen, I’ll look back over old posts for a little inspiration. Not that I find myself particularly inspiring or notably wise, I just like to remember the things I’ve experienced and…

    I Think I’ve Peaked
