early buds on tree stems

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Tokyo, 2025.01.19

The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four Americans is suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends. If they're okay, then it's you.
