I could have sworn we had made amends, well, maybe not amends but a type of loose truce. To stay out of each other's business, but there's something about these days. Time is moving faster and slower all at once. This old version of myself rearing her lonesome heart. Missing my family, the ones off … Continue reading Hello You

I'd just finished picking up a couple things from the grocery store for my friend's baby shower. I was adding the destination to my phone when I heard a violent bang on the passenger window.
