EPISODE 10 Inside the mirror, my mother’s face looks back at me. She smiles like she does in her pictures, which is the only place I know her from. Photo albums filled with memories and stories told to me by everyone else who was lucky enough to have known her, before she was taken from … More IT WILL ALL WORK OUT.
They’ve warned me about men like you. The kind of man who takes a well-balanced woman, Promise her the entire world. Only to throw her off balance. Men that walk with grace Who appear to have honor.

Have you ever been woken up by something compelling, relentless. Like a force that won’t give up until you’re finally sitting by the window, looking up at the night sky with a laptop on your lap.

They haunt us like self-manifest demons. Drawn to our very being,As we hopelessly try to scratch them off,They claw themselves deeper into our skin. Our names are the only language they speak.

Unknowingly cementing themselves to a place that … More THE CITY OF GOLD.
Tell me why I have cried for so long.Trying to rid my weak body of this relentless pain.An aching I’ve grown addicted to.For it keeps me safe from the pouring rain.

I am here to tell you that you are not alone.When the world is as loud as the sound of crashing waves,I swear you can swim above them. Even though you can’t hear yourself think, and maybe you are grateful for a little bit. Because the muffled voices inside your tortured mind, speak no life … More YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
