I don't even know how to explain or comprehend my emotions right now. One word that does describe my current state is: exhausted.
Life is precious and this past month has been a total slap in the face to remind me of that. Nothing is guaranteed in this world so I want to enjoy all the little things. I am definitely learning to "stop and smell the roses".
