  • Love and love-a-bit-less relationship…

    It’s not a love and hate relationship, it’s a love, and a love-a-bit-less relationship. We first met a few years ago at the break of dawn near the watershore. The sun was just peeking from the horizon and the summer beach bugs were swirling around from time to time. It was a strange encounter, one […]
