#longing

And so much of my life has been about returning home and longing for home, wanting my children to know about my roots. And I thought I can't be the only one to feel this way so I thought it would be an interesting topic to explore. ↗

Writing was not a childhood dream of mine. I do not recall longing to write as a student. I wasn't sure how to start. ↗
