How concerning is Aaron Judge's right hip situation?

So, I'm not here to tell everybody it's panic time.It's probably a bit too early in the season for that.However, the injuries are overwhelming right now.First there was the pitching staff, and in the last few weeks one hitter goes down, then the next, and then the next.Unfortunately, it has hit where it hurts the most.

The big idea: can writing make you healthier?

Like many anguished teens, I often felt that my best friend was my diary.I would enter my bedroom in a terrible mood, but as the sentences took shape on the page, whatever was troubling me no longer felt like quite as much of a catastrophe.I wasn't able to extinguish every sadness, but often felt calmer, as if a physical pressure had lifted from my chest.
