Abrupt Endings

Write with Me
Writing has brought me a long way. Writing, mentors, and self love have changed me for the best. I still have a lot of work to do. It’s still pretty hard for me to choose myself and me time over family/home time. Even just once a week I struggle to take myself out for myself.Continue reading “Write with Me”
