J.

PSA: Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Personally, I dread Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Off the top of my head, I can think of five women I’ve known who have had breast cancer. I’m sure there are more I could name. I really couldn’t be more aware. I am so aware that I am turning into an insane hypochondriac and I don’t…
