I’m still here, even like this
I haven’t written anything for a while again. Not because I had no thoughts. Actually, the opposite. My head has been too full.

Planting Strawberries While the World Falls Apart
Sometimes it feels like the world is going mad. You open the news and there is another conflict, another political fight, another story about violence or injustice somewhere in the world.
