If you are the victim in your life, I hope you see it and get help
I was in my late 20s and honestly had no idea what he meant. All I knew was that the world was against me, and nothing was my fault. I was also young and not raised around family members who encouraged therapy or healing.

Aging the good old fashioned way, in the time of Botox and social media
This year I turned 42. Does this mean that I am officially entering the middle half of my life? Maybe, maybe not. Possibly more like a fine wine, it only gets better with age.
