So Free Since: A Community of Conversations
Welcome to So Free Since, where we embrace freedom and the incredible strength within us. For many, the day of diagnosis signifies a loss.

Her journal is like that good girlfriend who’s able to ask you the right question, at the right time, yet in the right way."
