The year is under way and we hit the month of relationships. I used to dread February because it had THAT day in the middle with all the hype and red roses. At school I had no idea about this relationship thing. In fact I only had a real relationship until well after I finishedContinue reading “February “

Broken
I remember it well. I was told I was no longer required. That she did not love me anymore. After many years. Years of being one. Now we were broken.The news hit hard. I was angry. Just like that, after years together I was cast out. I packed my bags and walked out. I sworeContinue reading “Broken”
In a garden as in life
