This seems to be one of those dreaded dry periods where making up memes in lieu of actual journal posts is about as scintillating as it gets. In the face of minimal inspiration, no motivation, and a blank slate of interesting anecdotes and memories, I’ll roll with the small stuff that I can squeeze out. Hey! It’s better than bullet points and to-do lists, right?
