Personal fashion and musings
Every so often something trivially dramatic happens in my life to trigger an unexpected yet poignant revelation. Some minor inconvenience that skews the balance of my routine enough for me to gain an alternative perspective of the bigger picture, which would have otherwise gone unnoticed.
