As Long As I'm Living

We here at As Long As I'm Living are NOT proponents of gratitude policing, forcing yourself to only see the good, or toxic positivity. Our original plan for this week was an episode called F*** Thanksgiving, because a couple weeks ago when we were planning it out, neither of us felt grateful at all. But, as with anything else in grieving, things change by the day. If you are sick and tired of Than...

They are very much at the bottom of a hole right now, the beginning of their story. Listen to them share about their supremely terrible year (they *w...
