"I feel like everyone we know is out here chasing their own version of the American Dream and you and I, baby we're just living our lives". This sounds like a line out of a country song, doesn't it? It's not. D said this to me when we were on our way home from our … Continue reading Live your life
****WARNING: THIS IS A SAPPY POST. YA GIRL IS IN HER FEELS TODAY..**** YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
