Love? Life? Joy!

Image via One chilly Monday morning, two introverts stood in line at the coffee stand outside Giles Church in the heart of London’s West End. I was letting off some steam to my collegue Eugine* as we waited for our morning cuppa joe… Me: I don’t know man… it’s hard living with family because they wanna do ‘family stuff’ all...

It was just one of those weeks when I needed to do something adventurous. I was getting a bit itchy you see, a bit restless….
