There's a man who I've known for more than 10 years. We're friends to begin with — we went to the same school, lived in the same boarding house, and he used to annoy me SO MUCH! He'd distract me when ...

I’m often sent on an emotional roller coaster of bullshit and drama; a basis that lacks purpose and is filled with impersonal electronic disconnections. LOL, OMG, IDK, BRB, ROTFLMAO. These random acro...

I don't want to hate you. I don't want to pull away because it's the only way I know how to save myself from you. But I have also reached the point in my life where if I take much more, I will break. ...
