I’m Here to Validate Your Social Media Break

November 20, 2021 By Caroline Peterson Leave a Comment

Check on Your Strong Friend

June 8, 2018 By Caroline Peterson 6 Comments

Updated March 2022 I know the exact place to sit in the shower so the stream of water hitting my head feels more like a gentle rain; slowly, carefully, cathartically soothing my aching heart. It’s a spot that allows me to put my heavy head down on my tired arms and still be able to […]
