We decided basketball, because he knew a couple of friends playing at the time. I was never a huge... Continue Reading →
There are only a few places that I really truly feel completely comfortable. I have more anxiety than I would love to admit. And I often feel as though I am an introvert trapped in an extroverts body, if that makes any sense. I dislike conflict and try to keep a smaller group of people... Continue Reading →
