it is important to understand what could affect yourself. are these cutouts in the cage used for anything? have i mentioned that i was voted “sweetest” in high school? it may sound silly, but make sure everything is turned “on”. i guess the bright of the white pops more than the big pattern. i had not intended on staying long, as i’d done about 13 hours on the road that day after 14 the day before. i have been writing down a handful of things i’m grateful of from each day.
