For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a tumultuous relationship with getting my hopes up. Generally speaking, all things I’ve struggled with are because something didn’t go the way I’d hoped… I don’t imagine that I’m alone in that.

Loveless
There’s this song called, “Loveless” by Lorde that talks about how we’re the generation who date without feelings. She describes us as a group who dates through messing with eachother’s heads. The girl gets it, and she gets me. Side-note, as I looked up the lyrics to make sure I mentioned the correct song, I…

We all made the trek to Indiana yesterday for this bizarrely wonderful introduction to her birth family, and I couldn’t stop being overwhelmed by you. Granted, every time I’m in Indiana I think of you, but this time…
