It’s Hard to be You Sometimes. But it doesn’t have to be.
“Labels are for filing. Labels are for clothing. Labels are not for people.” Martina Navratilova A few weeks ago, I got sucked in to watching videos about young women who are anorexic. ;( I know, why would I let this happen, you are asking yourself. Not a great topic to talk about, is it? All […]
