I don’t know how to start. I got the idea to do something like this a while ago. I mean, how do you even write something like this? How do you put everything that you are into words? Beware: this is going to be a very disjointed read, anyone reads it at all ( Read more... )

Earlier this year, I stood up for myself to some of my friends, and now they're no longer my friends.

Generally speaking, though, I am too nice, and I do let people run me over a lot. Everything that has happened this year is evidence enough for that.

You are going to need to grow a tougher skin and realize that there are billions of people are out there. One girl or one friend not liking you should not demolish you in the long run. You deserve someone that is going to treat you with respect ( ... )
