Falling in love is a scary thing.You never notice until it's too late.Water drips and sends ripples, some feel like storms of thunder and others like waves- lapping at your feet.Your heart begins to beat again- well it always beat, but you forgot it's rhythm.And again you listen to it's gentle tune.Around him it beats … Continue reading Butterflies & Centipedes

The Game of Life

We have to stay caught up on the latest trends, know the latest news, keep up with where Sarah went for Spring break, and the race continues.
