The ferry from Genova to Palermo felt slightly like a haunted house on the water. The seats we had reserved for the night were airplane seats in a gloomy room, windows so dirty it was near impossible to look out over the waves. A few people were scattered about, as much on the chairs as…
Today the note on my tea bag asked me “How have you changed throughout the past five years?”. Reading this I realized that this question is posed the wrong way. It should be “How haven’t you changed in the past five years?”. So much has happened. The only things that are the same for me…
