Lucy (The Eggcademic) [she/her] is still living in the depths of winter, without hope for spring until at least April rolls around. But for some, they’re in the dead of summer. Yet others, February marks the beginning of spring’s first buds. We’re all in different spots, yearning for a future that we hope is different, is good. What does your future hold in store?
