    I know I feel more than others--but am still so unprepared when overcome by this anguish that won't quell. Welcome to the hopeless side of my page, where I'm most likely sobbing while I write. This state feels endless, but I feel peace when I write them down. I hope you resonate with my words, but I also just hope you're okay. It isn't easy, but it also isn't forever--AND THIS TOO SHALL PASS!!! ~ With love, Sara Katherine β™‘
