I don’t know about the rest of you, but during these past six months, I’ve been chasing every serotonin high I can possibly wrap my brain around. For a while, my entire life was video games. The cheerful certainty of Animal Crossing: New Horizons kept me company when the world was too big and too…

What is Time Anyways?
My concept of time has been warped since March 13, 2020. As I am writing this (it being September), the weather reminds me of the cooler, rainy days from that week. In a way life feels a bit like Groundhog Day. Everyday feels eerily similar to the next. This gif alone sums up how it…
If the Clouds Just Won’t Clear
