Been sick this week. It sucks.

But when you can only focus on one or two things, you figure out really fast what actually matters.

We fill our days with infinite tasks.

Maybe we should.

Apparently holding an umbrella in my hands makes me look significantly more British.

But the irony is that British people hardly ever carry an umbrella.

Still pink shirt day btw.
