Changing moods but mostly in an uneasy state. Hyper with nothing but my own thoughts, which keep racing. Is this the state that God intended for me? I surely hope not. I wouldn’t want this feeling for anyone else. Recently, I met this guy, a new friend, who is more stressed out t...

Lipstick, makeup, heals, a bra, dyed hair and a dress is what I see now when I look at him. Yes, him I repeat.
