"I think that you're never too old to read about hope, love, and redemption."

There’s a reason I turn to Friends when I get depressed. Ok, I lied, there are several reasons.

Wicked Like a Wildfire, the debut young adult novel by literary agent Lana Popovic, is a book that seems created just to fit the description “atmospheric.”

Here’s the thing about depression: it cycles. Even when I’m on medication, going to therapy and doing everything I’m able to do in order to stay healthy and keep it at bay, it bleeds in and out of my soul.

Here’s the thing about faking it: eventually, the truth comes out, or someone gets hurt. So I'm going to talk about my virginity on first dates!

Jennifer Mathieu has spent much of her life pouring into the lives of teenagers, both through her day job as a teacher and through the four books.

Up until a couple of weeks ago, I was a 23-year-old who had never been on a date.

Am I misrepresenting? Am I misunderstanding? Am I misremembering?

When I held Baby J for the first time, everything shuffled into place. For the kids, I see every reason to breathe. They love me. I don’t know why.

The benefit of posting honestly about our struggles and depression on social media.
