Random. Structured. Haphazard. All Me.
A Tangled Yarn of Thoughts Being Unravelled…
the moment an adult goes to the loo, a child will need them for something. That something will be critical to the child for sure but not register at all on the adult scale for important things. My niece is spending a few hours with me and after Hangmaning, drawing and doing all the things... Continue Reading →
