Although I did discover that Chester’s Corn Twists… Pretty much gluten free! Although deep fried in oil. My…

Underwater photography by the amazing Rafal Makiela I’m making the effort. My head’s above the surface… but there are days…. Days when, honestly, it would be easier to go under and stay under. Suck in water and sit at the bottom of the pool. Instead, I drown proof. I’ve been fighting my body for as…
