When I was 15 and starting my first job as a messenger boy at the post office, delivering telegrams.
The day our rescue dog came for a visit. I burst into tears. And my (most recent) wedding, of course.

Cheerful, sensitive, sassy.
Working at a petrol station.
Being delusional and dreaming big.
Getting rid of my phone.
