And till this day, she never let anyone tame her […]

This has become something I […]

“Imagine if the life that you thought you sharedWasn’t really there–It was made up in your mind,Could be anyone, anywhere.“ —Dust Clears by Clean Bandit Looking out my bedroom window, my eyes became fixated on my neighbors kitchen window.

The view is a spectacular sight, where the mountains meet the endless blue sky . I look down […]
