My life is a bit in shambles right now. I’ve spent the last few weeks in a state of anxiety, nausea, and depression. Between work and my home life, I’ve had little to no time to do the things which make me happy. Here’s one thing that does… Continue reading

Short Hair Blue Eyes
Sitting in my dim lit room
Thinking of you, short hair, blue eyes

Until then, hopefully you’re interested enough to take the time out and see what I’m about. Continue reading
