My parents might live 7000 miles away from Charlottesville, but regardless, I'm confident that I will always stay in close touch with them, no matter where I go on the globe.

Instead of trying to do and be better, I’ve decided to do less.
I start bullet journals without ever finishing them.
Economic depletion stifles the mobility of families caught in the cycle of Appalachian poverty. Confederate flags hang from the front porches of houses and private businesses that we drive past.
When it comes to my relationship, I am a bit territorial.
