Tire Town, Day Two
Something I didn’t expect to happen after I left, was that I would become so reliant on others. I thought people might pop in and out of my life but that mostly, I’d be on my own. That I’d have all the alone time… Continue Reading “Tire Town, Day Two”
Tire Town, USA, Population: My Tires
