TweetShareSharePinThere is a shadow that follows me around. A shell of a person who once existed. She hangs around just out of sight, but you can always feel her presence.

TweetShareSharePinI had the perfect opening line for this blog post when I woke up at 4:30 in the morning the other day. I thought that I should open up my phone and write it into the notes and decided against it. I could remember it for another hour before my alarm went off. Well, I […]

TweetShareSharePinIn October 2014, I published my first-ever blog post. A blog post that was 11 years in the making and a story that desperately needed to come out.
