A Dad’s Impact
Growing up, I was always my daddy’s little girl. I think that’s probably why I’m so sensitive to anything he’s ever said or done that’s hurt me.

Weed the Gardens
Here’s the thing about Tumblr, for those that don’t know: If you follow just anyone that follows you or random blogs because you want your dash to be active, you end up seeing a lot of posts containing negativity or things that make you feel heavy. I can’t explain it. Some things just make me […]
