Thunderstorms

You ever had a moment where you feel like a scared little kid? I’m in my basement because of the thunderstorm that’s happening. I hate thunderstorms. I’m not sure why, but I’ve always been scared of them since I was young. I’m not in an area where thunderstorms and tornados are an issue so I…

Lanterns

It’s been a long time since I’ve written anything on a blog site. This is the third blog I’ve started, but the previous two were very different. It was in a different time, a different season of life, a different me. But, who am I? I’ve been trying to figure that out for the past…
