Weekend before Easter I got roped into hiking with school. I say ‘roped’; I mentioned at the start of the year to the coordinator that I was interested in doing some hiking this year, and then the female teacher for this hike had to pull out, and so I got about 10 days’ warning. Wow

ETA: So many typos. So, so many. At least as far as writing goes. I am SO excited about all the projects I have in the wings, and I’m even more excited about being eventually able to share them with you. I know it doesn’t look like much on the surface, but trust me: behind

Fight your fears! Battle your demons! Stand against the darkness that envelops you! Yeah, yeah, we get it. To have fears is to be weak, to have anxious fears (i.e. unfounded, melodramatic, or unrealistic fears) is even weaker, and if you don’t stand up right this instant with a fear-tuned flamethrower and FIGHT THE LIFE
