The Hardest Thing I’ve Ever Said

The Hardest Thing I’ve Ever Said

I had a conversation yesterday which got me thinking about how I would frame the thoughts for todays blog. I was talking about past experiences and the other person said a short and very obvious when you think about it phrase 'abuse is not love'.

I Wanna Live in a House, a very Big House in the Country

I Wanna Live in a House, a very Big House in the Country

So I bought myself a larger house than I usually go for. I love decorating so I'm half excited at the thrill of digging through my inventory and unearthing some buried treasures now I have space for them and half nervous of the time it's going to take me to get going. The great thing [...]
