People do not pass. Feelings do not change. But, time keeps going. Over the past three months, I've learned alot about emotions. While I thought being Pisces put me at an advantage of knowing my feelings, I've learned I don't know shit at all.

What happens to the writer who doesn’t write? The girl, with the words, who suddenly has none? The girl whose pen has suddenly ran out of ink? I write this in the notes section of my phone as the blank page of my WordPress taunts me. It asks "Where I’ve been, where my secrets and stories are?" The answer is simple: they’re stuck.
