Where I gather my thoughts and transform my sea of emotions into written words, so that I may let them rest somewhere other than in my heart or head.
When it comes to setting goals, I guess you can say I play it pretty safe. I only set goals that are 100% in my control. I don’t set weight loss goals, because I know at times, my weight does not 100% directly reflect my efforts. I do, however, set goals on how many steps I take.. or how many miles I cycle.

I’m worried about my mom. I don’t know where we stand right now. Communication has been shut down by my dad. I’m giving grace and space. But I want answers. She’s my mom.

But I live in Texas, and it doesn’t actually start to feel like fall outside...
That word that stops you in your tracks. That word that steals a second of your breath. That word that makes your heart drop. That word that makes every word following it become foggy. That word that changes everything in a split second. That word that flips your life upside down and doesn’t give a shit. That word that forces more and more streams of tears down your face the longer you sit...
