How To: Support Someone Who is Sad

If I had to describe myself in one word it absolutely wouldn't be 'sad'. 'Sad' wouldn't even come into my top 100 words to describe the complex entity that is me.* *Yes, I now refer to myself as a complex entity because I found out my Enneagram and am now a spiritual,...

Am I pregnant?
