Today is a day I soon won’t forget
It started with a simple "are you okay?" ... and I knew the flood gates had opened. I've been hiding my feelings for a while now. You know the ones that are kept deep down in your soul? You've hidden them there so you don't have to deal with them. Because the pain of dealing... Continue Reading →
Falling into place

Craving change

I've been at the bottom... Continue Reading →
The battle I won
Life can get so busy. I worked 10 hours today... between my full time job and my part time job. Some may say that 10 hours isn't a lot ... that it could have been a lot more. They're right, it could have been. I spend 8 hours at a desk and on the computer.... Continue Reading →
