IWSG January 2021
A new year and a new me, am I right? Well, not really. It’s still the same old me with the same old problems, hopes, daily resolutions—“today I’m going to be productive and—-.” We all know the chorus. But there are some glimmers of hope: I’ve got a part-time job that I enjoy, I’ve settled…
