So, high school is almost over. I haven’t quite formed a solid opinion or single emotion towards this ending, but I don’t think I will.

I’m happier lately. Not quite happy enough to be content, but I’m beginning to find balance at the bottom of this deep valley I’ve fallen into. I can even see a few rocks to grab onto, to help myself out of this ditch. There’s going to be another hilltop, I’m determined of it. I’ll make […]
