Ellen Hopkins
Addiction is rarely conquered alone.
Ellen Hopkins

Ellen Hopkins
Losing It Some days I think I'm losing my mind. What seems so clear most of the time becomes a big question mark. Am I really the way I percieve myself, or is the person others see the truth of me? I wait for answers, but inside I know I have to go out and find them. And answers like knowledge, are not always where we first look for them.
