TRIGGERS. I am on a mumble rumble today, with no idea of whether my illegible scribble makes sense. But today, I am concerned about triggers.

Rain. I am inclined to believe I have a secret fetish I share with the rain. Or so it seems for whenever it rains, my valves open and ideas spew. When I think about it though, rain is dangerous, it is like a piece of evidence that incriminates you for a crime you committed. It […]
21:07:2019 Its 3:00 o’clock in the morning and am craving. I must admit, I am one lazy lass. Do not take me too serious though, this is just but an excuse I use to hide away the fact that am an over thinker with a really short attention span and therefore jotting down my feelings […]
