I
always wanted to go somewhere. Well, anywhere but…….I haven’t been
happy lately. Feeling out of place and out of life pretty much. There
are days when you need a break. A break from work. A break from a stupid
boyfriend. A break from family that never understands why you need to
do things a little differently. Today, was one of those days. One of
those days where I just had go and leave. I just had to. A drive into
the violet le coucher du soleil. I wonder if my best friend Patty would
be interested. Hmm……..

and the space.
