It’s Another Day
She's spiralling again. And yes, she's entirely still Her body is in one position, while her mind goes a mile a minute She hears them call themselves stupid and tears fill her eyes as she turns towards the demeaning voices, and with the most profound conviction says, 'never, never call yourself stupid!'

Between Friends. Shhhsss 🤫
One of my favourite books is ‘Between Friends’ by Nora Roberts. The entire book alternates between letters between these two friends and individual journaling over a number of years.
