I thought about taking a break from my shabby blog. My blog was supposed to inspire me to write extraordinary pieces of writing whether nonfiction or fiction. Instead, it has been a dumping ground for my never-ending sadness. I was going to write a whole blog about this but then I decided to cut the…
