Born on a Thursday #22 – What do I know?

So yeah – I was on vacation last week. And this is the first vacation that I have had in years.

Too many times recently (in recent days and months) I have been baffled by the question, “What do you want?” Well shit, I think. I used to know. I feel so weird, saying what I want. I feel even weirder not being able to answer the question. I used to know the answer, it’s simple – […]
