Honesty
Head Meet Sink
I detest going from graceful human-being to absolute klutz. Try explaining cuts, burns, bumps, and bruises to people without looking like a battered woman. It's damn near impossible. A few months ago my right wrist was covered in scratches of varying lengths. To the average passerby, it would have looked like I'd tried to harm … Continue reading Head Meet Sink

For me, it often is, but sometimes pain is also emotional. I don't … Continue reading Shutting Down
