My life, perhaps my fate

Life has a funny way of working out and in the midst of it all, one has to keep hoping. Living in a town I can't claim to be mine; a town that constantly rejects me, remaining focused isn't a piece of cake. For those who do not know my story; I was one of… Continue reading My life, perhaps my fate

Adulting…

The dream of this little girl seems to be falling apart. Faith is the only shoulder to cry on she has, as the walls shatter in front of her. Being an adult is not as easy as they make it seem; bills to pay, people counting on you. In all of this they forget to… Continue reading Adulting…

Absences 

She felt trapped again, not knowing what path to take.  It was like something had just clipped the wings she was finally able to grow; her escape plan from this dreadful world.
