the ramblings of a twenty-something who's just trying to do the best she can
Hello again, everyone! It's once again time for me to wax poetic about something that's been bugging me lately: breaking up with a friend. It sucks. It's got the potential to be worse than romantic breakups. It's not (typically) a conclusion one comes to easily or quickly, but I think we all eventually come to… Continue reading Mourning Platonic Loss
Daily writing promptWhat makes you nervous?View all responses Nothing sends me into an anxious downward spiral quite like not knowing what my next move is going to be.

A wise philosopher once said, "It ain't nun to cut that bitch off." Snip, snip, h*e (if you know, you know). And one thing about me, I will cut someone out of my life with the quickness.
