I’m Going To Get Through This

I’m trying to hold it together right now, but I feel like I don’t have anyone. My family moved to Utah, the couple I spent most of my time with have broken up, so things are kind of awkward now, my day job is super stressful and overwhelming, and I don’t have anyone else to […]
