The last few times I’ve been at the laundry, I’ve especially noticed a few different younger couples and their approach.

Judy Blume is one of the YA writers I look up to. I read two of her books over and over again as a teen–BLUBBER and DEENIE–because they spoke to me, they gave me small bits of my life reflected back to me (being bullied and not fitting in). So I loved finding these short video where Judy...
