On Your Mark, Get Set…
I feel as though all of the things that have happened in the last year and a half have lead me to this. This sharing of information, of thoughts and emotions. It’s quite terrifying to tell you the truth. Part of me wants to shelter it in the cave of my psyche. The other part…
