i can't believe how long it's been. i feel somewhat guilty, but the time away was truly well spent, i promise. i've spent the past month getting to know myself better - i battled the monster in my head, finally gave it a name, and have slowly started taming it. that sounds really dramatic, but … Continue reading the cycles of life
