It’s a really weird feeling seen by “invisible” people. I started posting on this blog again about a week ago, and when I started writing I thought I was just typing into the void. I forgot that this is the internet and people have access to whatever you put on it. I was kind of … More Feeling Seen
June is here, but it doesn’t feel very Juney. June usually signals the end of the academic year, excitement at the summer that lies ahead, travel plans, friendship dates, sun tans and the specific shade of nail polish to complement it correctly.
