BioMy brother kept a blog for years and since he passed away, I have felt like keeping up some sort of online journal was important. Just looking at the past few years of my life, I know I should have spent some time documenting things...so here's my life from now on anyway. There has been a lot of drama lately and it's been super emotional, so maybe writing about how I feel will help me get a better view of what is going on.
