This life of Mine

Hi, everyone. I know it’s been a while since I have posted anything, and there are a couple of reasons for that.

Sometimes, things happen in our lives that can knock us off our feet. If you have anxiety, those things can grow and seem much worse than they often are. At the same time, it’s important to realize that some things would knock everyone down, and not...
