Will run for cupcakes(keeping promises to myself)
I did a 5K! Not we did a 5K, I did a 5K! I’ve done them before but with a group of people or with family. This time was all on my own. I didn’t ask anyone to sign up with me. I didn’t back down when I realized hey! You are doing this alone. I didn’t prepare at all! …

It’s OK to disagree(It’s not ok to push your narrative)

Why do you Stare?
