Fridays that land on the 13th of the month are always charged with unexplainable energy in the fall. Well, unexplainable to those who don’t understand magic.

You travel down memory lane as you reminisce on when you wore those rainbow sunglasses to pride or when your mom bought you that watch that you wore twice before placing it in a box and never allowing it to see sunlight again. Well, until now. Now that you're looking at all the knick-knacks, pieces of clothing, and junk you’ve acquired over the years, you’re emotional and r...
