“Pretend you’re a woman. Coming back to a place where you once were a girl. A place where you used to imagine life as an adult. Now you’re back. You’ve seen some shit. You’ve been through the fucking wringer. There have been relationships and hardships and blessings beyond belief. Diagnosis’, a baby that made you a mother, several jobs and homes down the road.

Something all of my readers should know if you don’t already? My updates are never permanent. Not even close. What we’re “for sure” up to one week might change in a random two hour conversation at 10:00pm on a Tuesday. I love that for our life. I love having time and location freedom. I feel […]
