Issue #2: If I Don’t Laugh, I’ll Cry

tales from the trenches

Edit: I wrote this two weeks ago when we were in the THICK of it, and now I’m on the other side. It’s wild how, in the moment, it feels like you’ll be stuck there forever—but then one day, you wake up and realize you made it through. You keep showing up, one day at a time, and next thing you know, things feel lighter. Of course, it all comes in waves (this is definitely not the last leap lol), but that’s the beauty of it—some days (or weeks) stretch you, and some remind you just how incredible this all is. 💛

Last night was one of those nights of... if I don’t laugh, I’ll cry.
