Mend it, don’t End it.
“We are from a time when if something broke, we fixed it. We didn’t just throw it away and get a new one” Friendships, relationships and marriages just don’t happen out of the blue and turn out to be ebulliently successful ones. Everything has its own ups and downs, and in understanding this is exactly…
Falling Breathless
The heart yearns for the comfort of a familiar body or a soft feeling or being protected and under the care of someone strong and caring.
