At some point we all come to the brink of the edge where a decision needs to be made: refill the pen, or simply throw it out. Now, depending on the pen you are currently using, refilling it is likely the best course of action, yet at other times we push our chairs back, setup [...]

“Here you pass me by with barely a glance, absorbed in your own world, passing judgement based on what you see - not what you know. You don’t know me. You don’t know the life I’ve led, or the choices I’ve made. I’ve made decisions - some of them were good, and some of them [...]
