Quick question: I often see books quotes here in an image with the words on the left and the book cover on the right. How do you do that? Is there an easy or simple way to make it? Thanks!

I know I’m not 100% because I slept through to my alarm, which I rarely do.

It’s something that I think I could be worse but making sure my sleep, diet and exercise are good helps.

I realised that twice last week that I talked to people about some of the things that are constantly spinning in my head. Living in China and being a Dad. Like, I know I should do it more but…

I don’t think I’ve ever rewatched something as fast as I’m rewatching the first season of the Letterkenny spin off Shoresy.

Lot on at work this week. I have been trying to not let it overwhelm me (as I do normally). Exercise, family time, sleep (to a degree) are sacred now. Regardless of how much is going on.
