Epiphanies (with a tissue in hand)

By: Gabriela Yareliz The internet is about to be down for a couple of hours. (Shall we resume the discussion on first-world problems?) Today, I realized: 1) Being sick always brings me epiphanies. Is it the delirious feeling, the loss of fluids or the medication? 2) The key is finding contentment even when you are exhausted beyondContinue reading “Epiphanies (with a tissue in hand)”
