Mundane No Longer Exists (Short Story)
The knife swept through my soft flesh and pulled me open. I was young. I was hurting on the inside and now I was bleeding out.

Wait until you’re ready. You don’t owe anyone an explanation and you shouldn’t feel bad for needing time to process what you’re going through. You need to learn how to put yourself first sometimes, even if you feel guilty for doing so. This is the lesson I’ve been learning lately. Maybe some of you canContinue reading “Let’s Check-In, Friend”

We all have those moments we wish we could go back to. A memory so perfect we wish we could stay there forever. I took this picture during one of those moments.
