I can tell you the time. Honestly, the big hand, the little hand, and so on. I can definitely tell the time, but a moment came a few years ago when I discovered… why bother? One side-effect of the rise of mobile phones, PC’s, and tablets was that analog clocks became decorative and watches irrelevant. As
It was a simple question with a simple answer. Of course, I wasn’t afraid to be happy. Everyone in this world is fighting to find their forever happiness. But as the question started to seep into my brain and I looked at the source of the question, someone I loved more than anything, I realized

Several years ago, I found myself looking for a job. I had lost my position as a Strategic Alliance Manager traveling up and down the Eastern Seaboard working for a large corporation and was faced with the prospect of no income.
