I mostly grew up thinking to myself that I didn't want to be anything like my parents. And yeah that still rings pretty much true in my life. Up until the past few months when I looked at my mom I saw the opposite of myself. I held a lot of resentment towards her because … Continue reading like mother. like daughter.
the stigmas that come with marriage.
So, the other day at work as one of my young female co-workers was leaving the building after a long work day she said, "Got to go to the grocery, then cook, then go to the gym. Ha, it's like I'm a wife of something". What the fuck is that supposed to mean, bitch? Initially this kind … Continue reading the stigmas that come with marriage.
