Today's OneWord: Barren

When people think "barren," they immediately draw their imaginations toward a wasteland. When we think "wasteland," we think of a vast, empty space where nothing lives and nothing has enough energy to actually die. We view it as a desert, or a tundra, with nothing but a faint, warm breeze blowing dust into our eyes as we pass the no man's zone.

But I live in a Wasteland. And it is far different than you would ever predict.
