Stars in my eyes

When I look at the stars, the stars, I feel like myself-Switchfoot It’s been a busy week. Challenging, as well. Last night, I really had to push myself to go to the Post Secret event. I knew I’d be waiting outside for hours, in the cold, alone. Ed decided to go to work, since he couldn’t [...]
