nightrythmOverall, I seem to be ending this year with heartbreak. Just reviewing things has made me sad. While I’ve had many good things happen this year, I’ve also lost my home and my family. I know it seems like such a stupid little thing, but moving out of the Neighbor of the Beast really hurt. It wasn’t just a place. It was home. In moving, I lost ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
