Child, i almost threw my phone, but then i recognized that comment came from the valleys of Caucaus mountain and land of Panera bread.

Neo, give it a rest, lol.

“I said it did bother me. Youre the one who didnt read.”

This was a great article that inspired and yet you came in the comments with so much of your own regret that it reeks of unresolved issues. IF your life is fine then what was the need to comment Beloved? Before you speak always ask yourself will it hurt, hinder or help? We’ve got an entire world to fight, this should…

Thank you so much, girl! I really appreciate that. I just don’t want any one of us to feel like “it’s just me.” 

Janelle! Girl, this was fucking amazing! Thank you so much for writing this. I’m sharing the link with so many women who need to read this as much as I did. Thank you.

Fire. I needed this. 40 and waiting. Trying not to wonder or ask why?
