Choosing To Sing My Song

"A bird does not sing because it has an answer. It sings because it has a song." -Chinese Proverb A few weeks ago, I was writing some poems.

It’s more a numbness than a sadness, the absence of emotion making a cave in my chest as I sink. Waves of darkness are curving around my body like an old but familiar lover... one you’ve come back to again and again even when you knew it wasn’t right. Mostly I just want to feel nothing, in a body that is aching from feeling too much. Photo cred goes to my hubby. Side note: I’m okay I promise. Just trying to do the creative expression thing.

That moment when you realize you have no pictures of yourself that you actually like...#selfiegamenotstrong On the real though, if anyone has any suggestions for a good local photographer please let me know! Also if you’re looking for a good rainy day read I would LOVE it if you clicked the link in my bio! Happy Sunday 💕
