Issues

Transparent

The transparency for which this blog has gained its momentum is not as easy a feat to uphold as some may think. It is dreadfully hard for me to decide what to share boldly, and what to let fester in the corners of my mind for fear that I'll run you guys all away.

Who I am and Who Infertility has Tried to Make Me
