Friends? How many of us have them?
So platonic love is one that doesn't get hyped as much as it should, I feel. Your ride or die's, your day 1's (or day 6,300's), the ones...

Parenting is overstimulating!
Yes, I said it! Parenting is overstimulating and tiring AF! And let me be clear, I am talking about full-time, every day, all-day parenting. Not drive by parenting.
