By our beautiful guest writer Tori Andrews💓 Now, before we jump in, I want to give a little disclaimer: I am not minimizing anyone’s life experiences and the hardships we all go through — some, we’re able to get up, dust off, and may come out with only a little bruise; others, are downright TRASH (Can I say that?
