I don't understand why some applications insist on making their usage on anything but a phone near impossible, but Instagram seems to have decided that you can do just about everything from their desktop version of the site except actually post from it. For a 33-year-old, this is bad news bears because I'm okay with… Continue reading Posting to Instagram from Desktop

I've been doing better lately, fighting through the imposter syndrome and convincing myself there's some merit to my work, but it comes at the price of almost everything else. I'm working toward a balance, the problem is just that I'm so afraid of my mistakes outshining my… Continue reading Lofty Goals and Living
