Have You Noticed the 2-Minute Relationships in Your Life?
A few days ago, I had this tune in my head. I just couldn’t remember the song though. You know that feeling when you know that you know the lyrics of a song, but all that comes to your head is the tune? So annoying! Anyway, so I was constantly humming this tune, hoping that …

Here comes the sun :)

How My Dead Phone Made Me Live More
Ok, starting with a small dose of honesty. Like a lot of people, my smartphone is my life! Connecting to people is just one of the small things I use it for.
