vulnerability

I feel terrified and anxious and like all the air has been sucked out of my lungs and I can't remember the last time I …

ramblings – i miss being sad

Hello my loves, I feel as though I've been really distant lately, and I don't like it. I spoke about this in a blog post maybe over a year ago now, but I just feel as though I'm not as here as I'd like to be. I'm still posting every week, but I don't feel like I'm …
