C-PTSD and Working Through the Blues
Mama Told Me There’d Be Days Like This
September 17, 2021
Yes, I am still working through the blues. What can I say? It is what it is, and this is my river, and this is how it is flowing at the moment.

Each day I strive to do better than the day before. Sometimes that happens and sometimes it doesn’t. You pick yourself up, dust yourself off and get back on that pony.
