Halfway through the phone number, I lost my nerve and jabbed a single finger against the red button. I shoved my phone aside, but couldn't quite find the gumption to chunk the thing against the wall. I threw it against a pillow instead. A tiny second passed. A calm one. Because it was filled to …
Never Going Away
The anonymous nature of writing helps me process. I write my feelings, I write my ideas, and I hope so much for my own skill to rise. I have high expectations. For myself. I've written many things just in the past year. The posts on this blog have helped me understand. Or, I've finally gotten …
My heart races…
