This week’s Daily Post Writing Challenge is Image vs. Text. Link to the Challenge here. This is my contribution. Sometimes our love is misplaced. We love what is bad for us, but makes us feel good.

Modern Conveniences
Back in February of 1996, my then-future husband attempted to win my affections by making me a mix tape. That’s how we rolled back in the twentieth century.
