For many years and many blogs posts I have mentioned that I wanted to write my parents’ story. But as yet I haven’t. I even dedicated a page on this blog to them. I thought that my lack of action on this project was due to my avoidance behaviour and procrastination habits. I took action a […]
Why I am Quitting Social Media
