February 17, 2014

I was made fun of as a kid and it was hurtful. I can recall the time when someone made fun of my nose in the 5th grade and when someone made fun of my glasses in the 3rd grade. Shoot, I would make fun of this all matching 1985 Esprit outfit. Words do damage. But when I was made fun of by 3 ...

God, 30 days. In 30 days I head out on my adventure with Soul Hope. Exciting, huh? Um. I guess. I am sure that is how I am supposed to feel. How do you feel? I feel like I am fighting fear.
