Life is overwhelming. It is beautiful, it is terrible, it is incomprehensibly huge. I feel things so deeply, and I bet you do, too. One moment I am inspired by the kindness and love that I see everywhere, the next moment I feel heartbreak for all the suffering and pain that we put ourselves through […]
I’m a tried and true introvert, so I’m pretty comfortable being by myself.
