The universe as we/you know it, started as a Big Bang. Sometimes understanding of the “you”niverse also starts similarly. I went through a period where I started questioning everything I’ve ever known. I watched the Truman Show laughing insanely the whole time because it felt too real.

I don’t care about the why.” The “why” is the journey for me. … Continue reading Scenic Routes and Shortcuts
