Hi, I’m Jessica — still in my 20s, learning to balance writerhood and motherhood, one chaotic day at a time. I’ve been writing since I was 12, at most, and joined this site when I was about 15.

That ending lol. I would pick out a few lines I particularily love, but they're all so packed with meaning and metaphorical wonder, the underlying theme, for me, shining through.
Beautiful, Stuart :)

And the very last line are possibly my favourites. I like the feel this gives me.
