This reminds us that we should slow … Continue reading Quarantine Journal #14

I know the coronavirus is life-threatening and all, but I don’t think it’s a coincidence that kids are very rarely affected by the virus. People have always requested a day off to just sit at home and do … Continue reading Quarantine Journal #12
