  • Just because you didn’t ask

    It’s a wonder how your relationships begin in a spark then ignites into flames. And with constant burning, the rough edges of each of your differences start to show up.

    You like to look for what’s missing. And most of the time, you want to be the one who finds it first. But not everything you look for is material. Sometimes, they are achievements that other people have (and you obviously don’t), relationships, and everything within Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. What if the one you really Read more
