One foot in front of the other. Just keep going. Just keep trudging on, through the mundane, and the relentless, through the annoying and the horrible… just keep going. Drop your phone in a toilet full of wee? Just keep going. Get crappy news from a friend? Cry and then keep going. Dentist appointments? Just […]
Things I just Don’t Understand.
