The holidays are hard. They’re just not easy. There is a lot of sadness surrounding the holidays when there are empty seats at the table.

I recently discovered that there is an audiobooks tab on my Spotify account. Yes, I pay for Spotify. It’s the one subscription service I haven’t abandoned after six months.
