“After our time together, when he’d have to fly back, there was a hole in my heart, a gap so big that I was afraid it would divide us… We’d talk at least three times or four times a day, our ears pressed hard into the receiver - as if we could possibly get any [...]
Though I used to don a pair of heels to work, I was forced to jump ship after the 2nd day. I’ve been wearing flats ever since, but my toes are still slightly swollen. What gives?
Remember that “Oooh, feels good to be challenged” post? I’m over it. It sucks to lose that comfortable feeling and [...]
