A Memory Failure
It is sometimes difficult to remember when you are living through a challenging situation that bad times pass eventually. Memory fails us when we need it to remind us that bad times are not a permanent thing. Good things will come to us if we keep going and do not give up. When you think…

What do you want to hear?
Do you want to hear that everything is going back to normal soon when we all know that it will never be normal again? Do you want to hear we are all in the chaos together when we all feel so alone? Do you want to hear all lives matter when you should already know…
