establishing social connections and opportunities being the most difficult challenge by far. There’s a bit of waiting for the other shoe to drop, for sure, but the best part is that he is controlling the dialogue. So long ago I prayed for him first to be able...
My face subsequently slimmed down over the next few months, but I still carried this rock hard belly to the point where*if this was a video, here’s where I’d cut the camera for a cry sesh because hindsight is crystal clear and how I let it get to this point brings a level of p...
