Fallin Apart



Fallin Apart: "Fallin to pieces." My latest design, almost ready to publish. Wonder just how much it reflects my mood.

Fall winds and falling leaves,
Am I just falling apart?

So tired recently. Seems everything is going wrong. I know I am neglecting this blog but just don't seem to have the energy to update. Life has been tough and various problems are around.
Tired, just tired.
