Dealing with Change

Tip #1:

Don't let you emotions build up, let'em out along the way.

Tip #2:

Eventually dragged ourselves out of bed for I ( Read more... )

So, my house is all in boxes, all the food is basically gone, the movers are coming bright and early tomorrow, and I just need to like completely let out my emotions. Yet, I can't let myself do that. *sighs ( Read more... )
