The Story:

What’s the “story” behind this cupcake?  You tell me, because I don’t know.  All I want to do right now is rant about life!  I want to tell all my frustrations to the wide open internet and see what I get back.  I want to say what I really feel and let it all go. I want to tell people to just stop and be honest.

But guess what…. I can’t.    Because I don’t want to get questions like:   “Hey Lizzy, were you talking about me on your blog?”
