I’ve cried or been close to tears all day. I don’t know what’s been going on with me lately.
Just trying to be positive over here. Maybe it’s time for bed. Hope everyone has a beautiful and happy new year.

He will say this with a chuckle in the basement of his throat
As though words like these

That wound the self-esteem of women who wear midnight on their skin
He will smile
