All about me. All of my inner stirrings. All of my hopes, dreams, and goals. All of my complaints, grudges, and fears. All of me.
I’ve always loved to write. Putting pen to paper is natural to me. I swayed from it longer than I care to admit, but I’m s.l.o.w.l.y finding my way back. I don’t know where this is going. I don’t have a plan. I can’t see the bigger picture. And quite honestly, that scares me. I don’t know if I need a plan. I don’t know if I should share all of it on here...
You called me today. You vented about insurance companies with their heads up their asses.
