Surface Level

“Any major life rupture reveals who was never built for the terrain ahead […] when you discover that half the people you thought were ride or dies weren’t even ride or die adjacent, don’t waste time being sad about it. Those people could not have supported you much longer anyway. They maxed out their capacityContinue reading “Surface Level”

Even the Unexpected

By: Gabriela Yareliz I was reading Cara Says It All, by Cara Alwill. She was talking about her upcoming marriage (and she is becoming a stepmom!). Her post was all about “ghosting” your old life.
