I like to think I'm a genuine person. It's hard not to be when your facial expressions have no filter and you're the stereotypical definition of a Cancer, zodiac speaking. So many feels, you have no idea. In a world that, I am convinced, is so insensitive anymore it takes an extra effort to be... Continue Reading →
In good times…and in bad
If you're over the age of 20 and have any sort of a social life, the odds are you've spent a giant chunk of your money and time on your friends getting married. Since you've been to a wedding, you've likely heard the term 'in good times and in bad'. It is a vow couples... Continue Reading →
