I’m in that awkward space. The in-between-time, when one chapter of life has ended and the next one hasn’t fully begun yet. I’ve left behind familiarity and entered into the unknown. Transitioning from what I once was into what I’m now becoming…   And can I tell you it feels messy. I know it though, […]
