That was my reaction upon discovering a piece of news. The back story… I was talking about bullying among kids with my friend Kevin and I told him a bit about our brush with it. Ours took place before we left NY, from about September of 2011 to May of 2012. There was another […]
The pain and anger of it all… I haven't written in months… I just haven't been able to. I lost my baby in May and I haven't been really all that into life in general since. Some days it is better than others, but most days, I am just angry. Angry at the world, the […]
