Apocalyptic movie or documentary?

The soil needs this water.  … Continue reading Grief – a necessary elixir

An introvert.. insights through the words of dorkymum. We need our space and our solitude, get it?! 🙂

good advice

*stands up*

*shuffles nervously*

*clears throat*

I’m just an introvert.
