I started late this year. I wasn't able to start NaNoWriMo until last Thursday, which is unusual for me. But I had some stuff come up, so I got a tad behind.

Goodbye
Before you go, I want to say:It’s not your fault that your mind twists you away from the truth.I wish the world was fairer. But at the same time, please understand that I cannot drown with you.I have to take care of my own mindbefore it drowns in the same way. Copyright © Robin LeeAnn
