My closest friends and family, my loved ones, are the absolute BEST reflection of who I am. When you have healthy self-respect, self-esteem, dignity, a seemingly unending source of inner strength, and an innate sense of self, you don't wait for some mythological superhero to rescue you.

I mostly rank this month with a gigantic middle finger. January did me dirty in more ways than one. I don't really know how, when, or if I'll recover from the deeper damage caused. I saw the spine specialist this week. He gave me three options as a potential diagnosis and then tried to send … Continue reading Dosvedanya Yanvar (Goodbye January)
