Originally published on  ofhsoupkitchen.org According to the   National Sleep Foundation , you should replace your pillows every two years. This might seem like an awful waste of money especially if your pillows aren’t that lumpy yet. But remember that your pillow absorbs dirt, oil, saliva, and whatnots. Over time, it accumulates and becomes the perfect breeding ground for bacteria and viruses. But before you drag your old pillows to the recycling bin, take a good look at it first.

But the cracks will still be visible. Still, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t at least try to put back the broken pieces. Yes, trying to fix a broken relationship isn’t an easy task. Even the act of saying you’re sorry and admitting to our mistakes takes an incredible amount of courage. But if you really are sincere in your intention to set things right, no task is too daunting. Besides, the decision to make amends with the people you’ve hurt is already a big step. If you’re still not sure how to p
