I ran to my closet and covered my head and my ears to drown out any noise resulting from my outburst. I locked my bathroom door and covered myself in a blanket and slept on the cold tile floor.

there's so much to say.
it's been two months since i've last blogged and i owe this blog an update.
i've got so many things to update on, a simple bulleted post wouldn't do it justice.
i'm going to start blogging daily again and also setting up a few scheduled posts to recap what's been going on.
i miss this blog like you don't know.
<3
thanks for enjoying the ride.
