I received a phone call from my father regarding the death of my paternal step-grandmother. Almost a year ago, we found out that she had terminal cancer and at the time, the doctors only gave her 3 months to live. It's just really sad that she past away during the COVID-19 pandemic. My father said… Continue reading Life: Death in the Family & Relatives Getting Married

The movie To All the Boys I've Loved Before got me thinking about all the boys I had a crush on while growing up. I saw the movie back in 2018 when it came out on Netflix.
