Ditching topical steroids and documenting my journey through the withdrawal process that follows. Summer is winding down, which I am pretty upset about.

I stay away as preservation. I wish for nothing but to speak to you, yet the second I hear a word from your lips, I fear I will lose resolve and fall weak at the knees.
