The Post-Holiday Come Down or What Am I Doing With My Life?
The festive season, adorned with twinkling lights and the warmth of shared moments, often provides a respite of varying degrees from the daily grind and tends to be either a hub of social activity, quiet and relaxed, or somewhere in between, it offers a pause from the...
Thrift Stores and Libraries.
When I was a kid, I remember the first time I ever went into a thrift store, the feeling of amazement that places like that even existed blew my mind. There was so much stuff to look at and sift through. We were allowed to touch everything! Thrift stores in 1980s New...
