homecoming
It's funny... I remember this place being a whole lot bigger.  The halls were longer, staircase wider, furniture much larger.  Standing here now...I feel a bit like Alice after taking a nibble of the cake marked "eat me."  I guess it's kind of silly to think a house and everything in it(more)

let go
How long are you going to imprison yourself?  You will never be happy here.  You'll always be hiding and denying your true self.  Hiding and denying your talent and your beauty.  You will always feel like a failure.  Like a disappointment. Unloved. Unappreciated. (more)
