I am standing at the edge of a room,
or maybe a life,
unsure if I should turn on the overhead lights
or just retreat into the familiar dark.
Fear isn't a monster hiding in the closet anymore;
it seems to be always with me.
A companion of sorts,
working to make me regret asking what’s next.

A Visitor's Guide To Victorian England
A Book Review Being interested in all things Victorian, I am constantly looking for books on the Victorian Era. In fact, I should admit that I am obsessed about ‘all things Victorian’. From the clothes worn by men and women, rich or poor, to how they lived, where they lived, what they ate and would (or would not ) drink, what kind of transport there was, who worked where, who went to school (and who didn’t), the list really is endless.
