I have indeed Coral and, at this point, that journal's exactly one-third written.

Disenchantment

Posted on Thu, 05 Jun 2025

I see where you're coming from Jenny. I feel exactly the same. It depresses me to think about the state of the world today. Sometimes I tell myself to close my eyes to it but that's what people did in Europe in the 1930s with horrific...
