Hi stranger, it’s time for that talk again! The talk where I apologize for not posting as often as I used to and you forgive me because you understand how easy it is to get so caught up in your own struggles that you forget other people are struggling too…it happens. Okay! Now that we’ve…

9.12.20 no easy way

Vulnerability isn’t easy to convey. In fact, it’s far from easy. While some of us choose to carry our hearts on our sleeve, some of us choose to bury it deep into the heart of our feet. Most choose to carry it, I choose to bury it. I’m not a fan of showing my feelings.…
