What Optimism Isn’t

October 24, 2017October 24, 2017 ~ melstery

When I was in second grade (back when dinosaurs still roamed the earth), our report cards were handwritten.

It's been a minute. I've been sorting through some pesky life questions and am still uncertain as to where this blog is going. That's OK for now. Years ago, someone hit me squarely between the eyes with a few simple words -- words that were echoed not long ago by someone else, who could not … Continue reading Use Your Magic
