In observance of mental health day
It’s interesting, isn’t it? How we go around masquerading ourselves from those around us. Covering up and hiding how we are truly feeling.

Restless nights
In the past – before I know what I know now – I would wake up in the middle of the night with my head full of worries of what was going to happen. I would lie in bed wondering what the outcome was going to be. For hours on end. I would worry […]
