From the Drafts: The Beauty and Cruelty of Silent Quitting

I’ve been digging through my old drafts in a desperate attempt to find something to post that isn’t about running (again). πŸ˜…  This was written back in 2013. I decided against publishing it at that time because the story was still raw. But it has been 12 years and I thought I'd share …

I Have Been Scammed

For the first time in my entire life, I got scammed. I thought I was smart enough not to be fooled, but here I am. I was on Facebook, mindlessly viewing how my friends spent the last 24 hours. And in the middle of these stories, I came across a video ad. I didn't even bother to watch …
