I am back.

I am older. The last few years have been a concatenation of love, loss, and learning.

I am blessed. To own my apartment, have a secure job, good friends and family, and the opportunity to continue my education with masters degree.

I am terrified. That I have gotten older, know how heartbreak feels, and have discovered how strong I can truely be.

I am back.
