Where Do I Stand in Life?
I broke down and cried again at work. I recognize this is not normal. I recognize I need to do something. I’ve tried so many things to change it and now it’s so bad I don’t find relief or happiness in any of it. Writing – I haven’t written in a while, because things were … Continue reading
