Bio
I'm a pretty typical, drama-seeking, overthinker. I'm full of opinions and thoughts and a need to write them all down. I'm discovering I may not be half bad. As a writer... and maybe a person too ;)

When Did We Become Such Cowards?
Okay, so maybe that’s a little harsh, a tad presumptuous. I will also accept that it’s a fairly broad statement to make, and of course I understand it isn’t all-encompassing, we're not *all* cowards. However, related to my experience over the last year, it’s also pretty bang on. We, as a society, seem to no longer engage in hard conversations in person. We no longer hold healthy debates about conflicting opinions, in person. We stopped telling each other when something is bothering us, or hard, or incompatible… in person. We stopped telling people they have food in their teeth! So I’ll ask it again, when did we become such cowards?
