It's kind of weird having so much freedom and time that I sometimes find myself wondering what to do from here. I've always had to consider someone else in the scope of my plans, not that I had many, but on occasion, I did have a few. These days, I am free to do whatever... Continue Reading →
I woke up Wednesday feeling pretty at peace with myself and what was about to happen. It was finally the day to appear before the judge regarding the restraining order I had filed against my ex.
