About me

I’m Jill. And from the title of my site and the introduction, you know a lot of what there is to know! What’s left is why I’m here. Believe me, I’m not under the impression that I have a super unique story or that my struggles have been more difficult than anyone else’s. I have plenty of privilege. But my challenges can seem insurmountable at moments, and I learn from each one. Really just figured there may be one or two people out there who could relate and find comfort, inspiration, or even humor in my struggles. And if not, at least I’ll have them recorded for posterity!
