Posted on October 25, 2013

Together. That’s a hard one. I am by nature, not a together person. I am not someone who enjoys large crowds, big circles of friends or situations that require people to be together for long periods of time. I am an introvert, a quiet dreamer, and a bit of a loner. But, as I get…
