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.
Phases. Phases of my life. Like the moon, I move through phases. We all do. Phases of complete fulfillment. Phases of emptiness. Phases of abundance and phases of scarcity.

Phases of being...
September 10, 2017 We’ve been home for 12 days. It feels good to be home, but it’s still pure chaos. Sleep is still eluding me.

“Once in a while, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairytale.” This is how we began. We were both living our ordinary lives and then, boom. Fate stepped in and magic happened.
