My Life is on Delay
So, I am getting a little writing done and a few other things, but for the most part my life is on hold. It’s frustrating because I don’t know what’s happening from one day to the next, but all I can do is keep holding on the best that I can and wait to see what happens.
Self-Pity
I’m poor, overweight, have bipolar disorder, and more than anything lately, I’m loaded with self-pity.
