  • A Word Too Many People Use Too Much

    Impossible. It’s a defeatist word, I tell myself. It’s an easy answer when things are really hard. It negates any possibility of hope. It dismisses potential options. To be fair, it is statistically improbable a human can reverse gravity using only the power of their mind, but let’s not go with the obvious. It’s true…
