Kat Timpf's "unconventional birth announcement" revealed that she was diagnosed with breast cancer just hours before giving birth. These moms have similar stories.

I moved out of my family home when my ex and I separated. Downsizing was hard, but I realized it was an opportunity for a fresh start.

The scariest part of my day is not the crushing anxiety and doom, it’s having to take that one really large pill in my medication regime. Will this time be the time I choke as my cat watches me slowly lose consciousness and die on the kitchen floor? Who’s to say!

Never understand the complaints about curating your social media and online experience to be an “echo chamber.” Like yes I DO want all these people to like my things and say how funny and right I am. If I wanted to be challenged, I’d call my therapist.
