When To Say When

I used to write these blog posts because I enjoyed sharing my feelings online. I tried to be creative in the ways I presented them; by making stories out of the emotions I experienced. Some posts were better than others, but nothing could match the relief I felt just by sharing my feelings with you.…

Who You Are

I think one of the most difficult parts about growing up is staying true to yourself because most of the time we aren't so sure of who that person is. It's so easy to want to change in order to fit it in with the popular-crowd. And I could never blame you for hiding a…
