Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 17 degrees, cool, but sunny and with blue skies. It’s midweek and the day before I travel back to Brazil. I’m feeling strange, a bit anxious, wary of the unknown, and both happy and sad at the same time. I’ve sensed for some time that living with my mother is toxic, and I need to leave, take […]

Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 19 degrees, cool, overcast with showers. It is Tuesday, two days before I return to Brazil. I do not know what to expect; it has been seven months since I was there.

I bought a Google Watch 2 three months ago, and […]
