Personal fashion and musings
I look forward to driving long distances because it's the most productive opportunity to catch up on podcasts. Usually I'm alone, so I can easily concentrate on the words and the road ahead of me without any distractions. My favourites are constantly on shuffle and it makes the miles pass smoothly and bearably - so [...]
When you are twenty-two, it can be unsettling to hear older generations ponder the experiences of their twenties and declare this was a period of discovering who they were and figuring out what they wanted in life.
