The One That Got Away

I made this blog to let out the thoughts and feelings that are too loud to silence. It’s an outlet for my racing mind, for when it gets to be racing, which is rare nowadays, thankfully. But, as it is now, it’s 2:47 AM as I’m writing this and, well… my thoughts are racing.

Moving, moving, moving.

My life is moving at the speed of a freight train right now and I can't decide whether or not I like it. But I think I'm erring on t...
