a little random.

There have been so many things on my heart and mind as of late. So much that it’s starting to make a bit of sense as to why I’ve been feeling so stuck and stagnant. I hold on to so much fear and doubt, while simultaneously holding on to this idea that I have to

There’s Progress…

I think we all put ourselves on some type of timeline/deadline to have things done. We set our minds on something and we all believe it’s going to happen exactly when we say. For some people, things do work out just like that. For me, not so much. And, as I’ve said before, I’m learning

Closing Out The Year With A Bang, or Attempting To.

And just being plain old LAZY. I’ve been telling myself that I have to stop using these sad and depressed moods of mine

A Consistent Tale Of Inconsistency

Hey. Hello. Hi there.   Yes, I’m back, after another unexplained hiatus … with lots of ‘excuses’. While there have been so many hard and sad things happening in my life as of late (more so in the past month); I think I should only state that my mood towards writing has been a mixture
