For you Juneli… I talk to myself… all the time I absolutely love having coffee, but will go without it for days because I feel I’m overdoing it I can’t be mean to others… well, most of the time I can’t stand raw onions… ewww I cut my long painfully straight hair recently (and am …
Sometimes, we don’t get what we want. Actually, it’s very often that we don’t get what we want. And we are completely helpless to do anything about it. Do we stop wishing then? Or do we carry our wish in our heart, a dim hope tucked away in a corner that the wish comes true; …
