My Preciousss
Just read this piece on how to pick best presents and thought it reflected my idea of picking out the best present. First, it has to be one present, because adding smaller ones to the kit reduces the value of the main gift, as it shows the giver was not sure one present was enough. … Read more
Why I’m Alone? Don’t I Deserve Love?
This was the question from this one girl replying to my free psychological consultation ad. My knee-jerk reaction was GIRL, I WISH I KNEW. But then I began replying and somehow easily figured it out.
