Tales and thoughts from a quiet soul and seeker of simple
Today I woke up with a gnawing feeling of panic. Not ideally how I like to start the school week. My subconcious somehow leaked some thoughts that I have kept bottled up for awhile now. To be honest, it was the first time I had allowed myself to really let myself feel how it would…
