So I Was Just Thinking

Since the beginning of the year,  (and even most of the year before that) I have been making a habit of documenting what's been going on in my life.

I began fashioning my thoughts after the Chronicles of Marit  with a mixture of Dion Dior until about a month ago when I put the pen and paintbrush down and somehow forgot to pick them back up.
