The Past Awakened/ Distorted Reality book 1. Content Warning.
*You can find this story in full on Tapas and Wattpad Typing away on my laptop, my goal is to get this post done today. I'm running late on my deadline. Usually I try to get a blog post published twice a week, but this week has been a bit off. Still, I persist to stay on schedule. Blogging is something I found more enjoyable than doing the jobs I had before. Something where I don't have to worry about others' rules and I get the freedom to build the structure that works best for me. Where my bad days can happen without fear that I have to push myself to do something that feels overwhelming or too hard in those moments. So being my own boss in a way is what I knew I wanted to strive for.
