Gravity. Science and John Mayer are the first two things I think about when I hear that word. Sometimes feelings are like gravity. One day everything's good, the next everything is awful. I'm trying to find the balance in these feelings.

Time heals all wounds. Is that true? Do we really just get over things? I don't think so. I'm a woman who loves to eat, always have.
