Things I Realised Flying Alone

I've always been a pretty independent person; in my first year at University I was never one to need someone with me to leave the house, and I will happily plan my own journeys/get things done for myself.  However, one thing I had never done before was do the whole plane thing, completely by myself.

A Letter to those who Accept my “Crazy”

To those who accept my "crazy", I know that I'm not always the easiest person to deal with.  Sometimes my brain takes over and I lose control, and nothing feels as it should and I begin to doubt everything that I've come to know. I push you away, I say things I don't mean, and …
