Limbo
I often feel like I am caught in an “in-between” state of “satisfaction.”
In 11 days, I’ll be shoving the majority of my belongings into an SUV, driving a few hundred miles from home, and unpacking everything into a new dorm room. I’ll be grocery shopping for one, cooking meals for myself, doing my own laundry again. I’ll be running back and forth between...
