My world didn't just come crashing down--it crushed me.
Secrets and lies hurt.
And they weigh a ton.
Now, I'm left to pick up the scattered pieces and go on.
Then, when I think there might be a light at the end of the tunnel--that too, burns out.
And I'm left with only myself to rely on, in a sea of disappointment.
Learning how to straighten your spine and hold your head up high--when it feels impossible--are tough lessons to learn.
But I do it.
Because I've been working too hard to give up on my dreams now.
Jessa lives in a very non-descript, unassuming town filled with the best kind of people. Most days, she can be found in the stands of various soccer fields, cheering her on Youngest, or discussing books with her Oldest (who is an English Honors student).
At night, if she's not up burning the midnight oil, Jessa enjoys snuggling up to her real-life chef hubby and watching his latest pick for a cheesy romance movie. He always chooses the best ones. (after he cooks supper, of course).
