This week’s newsletter is a bit heavier. A really close family friend is battling cancer for the third time and it’s not looking good. They setup a gofundme page to help with medical expenses.

WATCHED: My Sister has ADHD
Lucy Moon made a short film about ADHD. It’s simple but gorgeous. I got a window into a world that isn’t mine. It wasn’t a stereotype but a personal story.
