WHAT A RIDE I’M ON…and I hate it. H-A-T-E Admittedly, my vibe is bad. My eyebrows are so furled over my often-teary eyes, that I can’t see many silver linings these days. Hear me out…I CAN see those glimmers. I haven’t lost my faith, and...

YOU ARE WORTHY

Even when you don’t feel like it. I haven’t felt like it. I haven’t felt like posting. I haven’t felt like being upbeat. I haven’t even felt like being sad. I’ve been in this hibernation state where I just wanted to rest, just wanted to...
