SKIP THE TEXT AND PICK UP THE PHONE FFS…

When I was a young tot, I learned to read and write at a very early age.  And with that special power, I discovered the art of argument and negotiation.  To this day my mom claims she still has notes I used to slip under her door detailing my case of why the punishment I [...]

SHIT’S ABOUT TO GET REAL

NO ONE WANTS TO SEE YOUR BIG GIRL PANTIES

Woke up with a little less of a heartache, and a little more perspective.  It's funny how "love", "infatuation", "twitterpation", etc makes us literally stupid. As in we actually believe that the person(s) who hurt us have the capability of making us feel unwanted/unloved/heartbroken/etc.  No.  Trust me.  The person(s) who hurt us do not have [...]
