I tried to be good enough
My parents divorced when I was four. My mom lavished attention on me. I grew up to be an open and social person. I could find a common language with almost any stranger. Acquaintances quickly became friends.
There came a point where I began to notice my friends. They lied, cheated and betrayed me and each other. I protested, but... >Read More
