Not Enough
Do you know what a rainbow baby is? What about the topic in itself being held in with shame, guilt and embarrassment? Do you wonder how the men feel, or is it considered too subjective?
2022
I CARE
Mental Health is one of the most valuable things. At times it is often ignored when it is not made a priority. It can lead to clouded judgement, false identities, anxiety, or worse. How often are you checked up on? Better yet... Are you okay?
2022
F*CK YOU
There are uncomfortable conversations we tend to have behind closed doors, that no one talks about. If honesty was given in its most direct form, there would be more clarity than what people may think. How do you express your pain to someone for the same issue you have with one another? Are your perspectives different or the same? Or are things forever one sided?
