Unsolicited Commentary from a Future Physician’s Husband

Vol. 5: The Excess Information Age? April 28th, 2024

I’ve been trying to find ways to talk about the last month without coming off as “Woe is me,” because there are people going through times that are much worse than we are. However, I feel that our experiences are valuable, in large part because we have found comfort from similar experiences that others have posted online.

And maybe, just maybe, if she concentrates hard enough, it’ll stick.

Vol. 1: “So you’re like an actual adult?” Jan. 6th, 2022
