1) One of my cellmates said to me a few days ago, “I don’t know anyone who stays as busy as you do.

Knowing that I am growing in every way is amazing. Just looking back at what excited me and what I found delight in and now I find revolting is a great feeling. The conversations I hear others have seem so silly now. Before I would be all in those conversations now they do not interest […]
