It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live
You promised me you’d be there, to be a hand to hold. You promised you would help me when I couldn’t face the world. You promised you would love me when I couldn’t love myself.

Is it Monday? I am descending into madness. Quite literally though not as drastically as it sounds. A few weeks ago, I had a medication shift.

A looking glass into the past that cuts me deep every time I look at it... Jonathan woke up in a cold sweat, not for the first time this week. He kept having nightmares, strange and unusual ones about another world, another life… In them, he saw a small child, cold and alone in a... Continue Reading →
A year of marriage has come and gone and we celebrated like we were still in our 20s. The hangover was well worth it.
