Kathryn's Word Vomit

Welcome to Kathryn's Word Vomit

Random thoughts, rants, and bits of fiction

*Disclaimer: Not Actual Vomit - just the ramblings of a stressed out twentysomething year old. An outpouring of the hurricane of words swirling around in my head, shared with all of you lovely people. Please don’t think this is actual vomit, I would be sad if you did. I promise you that this is so much more than that.
