Whether it's a Spotify music review or an Instagram Reel with a curated collection of highlighted photos, I watch them all. When I pulled this [...]
I recently took myself to my first pottery class. Like those painting with twist classes, this is one of those artsy activities where I can try my hand at creating art, and in the end, the only person who sees value in the finished product is me. I was inspired by binge-watching the fifth season [...]
