It's today. I am stalling as I write this. The room pitch black, my face illuminated by this laptop's screen.

It is also 3 am.

Here I go.

Not much has changed since I came home from the US, and yet so much also has. I haven't written in almost two months, a little strange for someone like me who needs the verbal outburst. There's just too much that ( Read more... )

Thank you for these words. Re-posting them because I need to see them often.

You are a leader of leaders! You are a dreamer, but you are also an activator, which I think is awesome. When you put your mind to something, you go after it, and I always admired that ( Read more... )

 There's something that's about to breakthrough inside me. I'm pretty sure I just have to sit here and let these feelings germinate. Patience with myself is key. And prayer.
