23

“I’m one day away from being 20, and I’m on my knees begging for God to take over my story. I have no idea what my heart wants. I have no idea where to go anymore. God please heal me. Please take these struggles. I miss feeling like I can live a full life and […]

On College…

I’m sending out cards with pictures of me in a cap and gown, and there’s this red tassel perfectly framing my face that I spent $14 on to show that I am graduating from a school four years ago I had no idea I would even get into. My smile is authentic and I can […]
