  • Everybody’s Lonely

    Everybody’s Lonely

    You wake up, scroll through social media, go to work/school/wherever and interact with people. You say your hello’s and how are you’s.

  • My Life as the Black Sheep

    My Life as the Black Sheep

    Lots of people have a “thing.” Art, music, sports, something that makes them tick and keeps them going day after day. For the rest of my family, that thing is basketball. For me, it’s not.
