Today was a long day at my internship. I work with at-risk girls and there's a lot of drama. Girls who tell me about past abuse. Girls who are 14 telling me about sleeping with their boyfriends. Girls who are confused as to who they are in the world. Girls getting arrested. It's tough to take some days.
I feel for these girls. They grew up in broken homes and have had to fend for themselves.
I'm so glad that I didn't have to grow up like that. I'm so thankful my home was safe, that I have parents who love me.
And a dog who's chewing her squeaky bone in my ear as I type this.
Sure makes me feel loved!
