So many voices of people pulling me in all directions. Yet, I remain here. Stuck. Wondering if I'm too far gone. To do something meaningful with my life. Header Photo Credit to Pexels.comhttps://www.pexels.com/photo/man-in-gray-long-sleeve-shirt-sitting-on-brown-wooden-chair-5255996/
A storm just passed. The quiet settles in. A moment to catch my breath. A rest stop on the side of the street. A place for travelers to gather. Underneath a fluorescent lamp which attracts the moths.
