As NICU Awareness Month comes to a close, I wanted to share my experience with what it’s like when you bring that baby home from the NICU.

I am here to tell you to stop judging other people’s outsides and making value judgments on their insides. Depression doesn't care but you should!

Dear Erin, I am a lesbian and am currently talking again to this girl who I’ve dated in the past. She and I dated for seven months, until I cheated on her (which was obviously messed up on my part). After we broke up, she started dating my best friend who is literally the same person as me.

I miss my friend (even if I'm glad to be rid of her brother!). Would it be wrong to reach out?
