Coming Back From a “Me Too Moment”: Is Joe Biden too Awkward to be President?
But we also have to understand that sexual harassment is so common, and so misunderstood, that the deeper we dig to suss it out of society, the wider the net of sexual harassment becomes. The bigger the net, the more fish we catch. The more fish we catch, the more we can be picky about what fish we clean and devour.

5 Tips For Reducing Anxiety With a Goal-Oriented Bullet Journal
The best part about a bullet journal is how you can make it into whatever tool you need it to be. Personally, I need my bullet journal to act as a roadmap to my life.

Struggling With Identity and Worth As A SAHM

I love being outside in nature, but the idea of bringing it all indoors never really appealed to me. I think I was just scared that I would kill them. In fact, if my husband were here to rat me out, he'd tell you that I have, in fact, killed many of them. I also think I was living life too quickly. Starting with my freshman year of high school up until pretty recently, I've always felt tremendous pressure to be doing something at all times. In that mindset, there's no room for the patient and thoughtful care a houseplant deserves.
