Poor Poor Pitiful Me…Or Not
I have recently been holding on to some “hurt feelings” over a friendship that once was super tight but has since dwindled considerably. My frustrations were directed toward him but then I realized maybe it wasn’t his fault, it was possibly mine. I also remembered that many … [Read more...]
