69 Dates is a purely creative endeavor. I put my words and thoughts out there for people to read. It’s a fact that my little artistic space takes up some bytes on the interwebz.

Not sure how many hearts got broken last year during the pandemic. I know of at least one. I met the owner during one of my travels. I don’t recall how we ended up having long conversations during lockdown but she kept me up-to-date about this one boy. A boy that seemed perfect but wasn’t. She was a truly tortured soul, a victim of enormous heartache, a troubled mind stuck (indoors). I couldn’t really relate with the heartburn or sleepless nights. I was lucky enough to not have experienced this or maybe I was too ignorant to acknowledge these things. It’s how you see it.
