Lyrics from my perspective: Who is in control?
Hello and welcome to my blog. It’s 10 am and I just woke up. I fell asleep around 6 am but I wrote this before that: It’s 4:30 am and I can’t sleep. I haven’t been getting much sleep lately. I’ve always had trouble falling asleep, but it seems the more stressed I get, the […]

Are you a talker or a listener?
It’s been 3 days since my last post. I’ve been in a negative headspace. Yesterday was nice, though. My mom and sisters got back from Turkey and brought me unexpected gifts. But I wake up every day and read novels on my phone for hours, and then I close the binds so I can sleep. […]
