These headaches, they’re not funny anymore. I’ve been getting a lot of them lately, and I must admit it’s making me a bit scared. Like why-is-this-happening and what-is-wrong-with-me kind of scared. I’ve always had migraines since I was a kid, but never like this – the kind that makes you keel over because of the pain. Also: my heart is broken again. Story of my life.
