I'm not one who likes to admit when he's addicted to something. Good thing I'm not an alcoholic, 'cause isn't that step one? But when it comes to feeling disconnected, I have to admit that I'm addicted to the internet. I mean, it's not a full-on, I gotta be in front of it every minute … Continue reading Disconnected

Healing
