I disappeared
I had to disappear for awhile. Not in my “real life”, but away from my blog and from the hard things I fight in my head. I’m still not 100% over whatever it is that has been bothering me, but today I decided I was ready to come back. I am not sure if it’s…

Haha, not today Satan. Listing colleges to me seems dangerous, although it wouldn’t identify where I currently live, it would open up the ability to likely pick out addresses on some kind of verification process.

A little secret about me
Something I do when I’m alone is ask my phone what I need to hear and then I hit shuffle on my music and the first song that plays is what I need to know in that moment. Sometimes my phone gets on a good run and everything that follows feels equally as good. So…
