Yeah, I get that, a lot.
Out of nowhere, I realize that I haven't seen Ada in a while.
Maybe she got transferred to another lecture hall.

How ironic. Making sure others are okay when you can't even make yourself okay.
I really dislike the inner voice in my head.
A sigh full of sorrow and pain escapes my lips as I continue scrolling through my Facebook feed.
If you can't tell, social media is like a temporary distraction for my anxiety.
I had just finished watching a video of some cute owls when a skype call comes in.
Without thinking, I press accept and watch as Quinn's face pops onto the screen.
"Oh, Quinn! Hi!"
"Oh my goodness Bree, I have so many things to tell you."
