and Purposeful Prose
Image by jakov zadro from Pixabay It's okay if you can't choose joy. It's not a crime if your strength is gone. Even the young grow tired and weary I won't blame you for believing you can't go on. It's okay if you have no words It's quite alright if you're feeling too weak We [...]
