Ask Me Anything!
Today is my 30th birthday. It’s quite a strange feeling, actually. I do not feel 30. Even though I know logically that nothing has really changed, except that another day has passed, I am a little nervous that now that I am 30, I’m going to be expected to do the kinds of things that […]
