A man who trusts nobody is apt to be the kind of man nobody trusts. –Harold MacMillan At some point in life, everybody has been faced with the question whether to trust or not to trust. As warned by Pink in her latest song “Try”, sometimes it is better to […]
Dear Diary, Yesterday was as loopy as the day before and probably just as loopy as today promises to be. It is amazing that people are always talking about not crossing a certain line, but they then find their own line they feel comfortable crossing to the dismay of […]
