These can’t be my only options…

It’s always kind of funny when I sit down to type out a post… when I don’t really want to dive into the topic that’s weighing on my heart and mind… I guess ironic would be the more appropriate word since I’m not exactly laughing… but it’s ironic because I pride myself on being transparent… I mean I share my struggles so that others don’t feel alone in theirs… sometimes I wish I wasn’t this way because it forces me … Continue reading “These can’t be my only options…”
