So let’s talk about it, today on the Rising Tide Ta…

Do you want a fixer, or do you want a friend?” It’s a question I’ve learned to ask whenever someone brings me a problem, and when I talked about it on social media, my DMs and comments went wild… …it turns out that I’m not the only one who sometimes butts in where help isn’t actually needed, but a hug sure is.
