THE SILENT BATTLES NO ONE SEES

We all have plans, dreams, relationships, imaginations, and little milestones we thought we would have reached by now. Visions of a life we hoped to wake up into yet somehow, some of those hopes dissolved, delayed, or slipped out of our grasp. The world rarely pauses to ask what’s beneath the surface.
