Welcome to my heart.
This is my journey on paper.
The posts appear in the reverse order I wrote them
the ending came first,
the beginning arrived last -but somehow the structure still makes perfect sense.
Start anywhere. This isn't a straight line. It's a loop.
Wherever you begin, if you keep going,
you'll eventually return to yourself.
