Coming and Going
Wistie is home! YEA! I think she feels discombobulated. I remember how that feels. You know you are different, but everyone still treats you the same and you want to scream and say, “I’m not the same little girl any more,” but you don’t and then you find yourself regressing back to what “you think” …
