It’s ok to break. It’s okay. If you need to hide in the bathroom with closed door, just to cry or breathe, before carrying on with the tasks at hand, it’s ok. If you need to ignore all the chores and instead climb into bed to shut your eyes, or hide from the world for […]
When the #metoo movement was in full force, I read the stories, I felt for all that had one, and I was so grateful that I didn’t have a story of my own, a pain or a hurt to share. But i was wrong. I just didn’t realize I had any, because I never felt […]
