Experiencing Interruptions?

By The Window

Do we truly understand the hardships faced by the person sitting beside us? Do we find it effortless to show kindness to those around us? "By the Window" aims to provide a secure environment, particularly for women, where we can offer a supportive ear to one another. As women, we share similar experiences, yet we often avoid discussing them due to fear of criticism and lack of understanding. However, when we do open up, we discover that we are not alone in our struggles. The key is to listen with an open heart.
