I bought the test kit just to make sure.Surprise surprise, not even 5 minutes in, the...

It is rather insensitive to post these pictures on my...

It was unexplained infertility, and I never understood it. I bought the moonstone as a symbol of fertility to remind myself of that phase.  I got the lucky cat from a boy I liked when I was...

 Book Conversation:I was exploring Kino last week to go through books that I might want. I stayed over 2 hours in there alone. While I was in the Self-Help/Motivational section, there was a group of young ladies searching for books near me, and I tried making myself small so that they could walk past me. They were loud and excited, so it was impossible not to listen to their conversation.I remember...
