To say I have been silent is incorrect.I speak.Often.Loudly.Just not about me anymore.Not about the real me at least.I once had words for everything.As all else seemed to trickle through my fingers on this river of life I still had words.My sole companion.The truest version of me I could find.I dug deep into the darkness … Continue reading Day 1,414
