❝My soul skates on thin ice, an unraveling thread that twists and ties itself into a knot to stay inside. It bursts at the seams and rocks my barely there dreams, tugs at my passions, those mere strands that fall off each day. My interests have disappeared into its web- that's where they hide- as my soul tries to reconnect with my body, to my mind... but I think it needs help. Who am I? The body, mind, and soul are connected, and it is up to us to determine how to respect them.❞ - MeThese writings are my observations and perspectives, some full of laughter and fun, others painful and dark, suffocating, leaving me with nowhere to run. ✿✿✿✿✿✿✿A collection of unedited prose I wrote extemporaneously (ages 19-), as well as quotes.
