And I say ”F*ck Small Talk” to all forms of topics that tend to get labeled as taboo, hush-hush, or ”inappropriate.”We all have experience with love and loss, self-doubt, mental health, addiction, self-sabotaging behaviors, loneliness, and are all fighting for our right to be seen and heard. To belong.
