Rough Week
I’m so sick of this, sick of myself, sick of being sick. I can’t live this way. Going to have to take a break for a bit, this old rose don’t smell so sweet anymore. Love all of you. xx

Phone Calls and Fragility’s
I fear there’s only one sure answer to that question I keep asking myself. “Will this ever get better? Will I ever get better?” My first world problems are overwhelming my feeble little mind right now. The others seem to have abandoned me in…

An excerpt from “Goodbye Notes”
“…But if you ever need me still,

And show you who you can be.
And then we’ll laugh together through memories,
As the light fades beyond the trees,
And I’ll tell you how much you matter,
And what you meant to me.”
