Today is International Woman’s Day so I decided to take it back to middle school English class and write a little something about my female hero. Of course, there are lots of female heroes I could write about, but why write about a stranger when my whole life I had a female hero right beside […]

Hello Friend! Since we just passed a holiday all about love, I thought I would take this time to reach out and apologize for being such a shitty friend, since I love you so much. I’m sorry that I never remember to text you back and that I haven’t made plans to hang out for […]
