Don’t know why, oh so strange, oh so strange, the way I feel, Feeling this way more and more, creeping feelings at my door, More triggers now than before, don’t really understand the core, Reason for anxiety, misunderstood priority, misdirected energy spurred by events ahead, Circumstances of my choosing and not, so so strange, stomach, …
A Heartfelt Reflection: SCU Class of 1989, 35th Reunion
SCU89_R35. I like to come up with short-hand / abbreviations for things, and that’s what came to mind for our college class reunion just concluded.
