Im wearing the same dress is what ive gathered from the year thats gone by. Thats the only takeaway. And i watched you eat your donut holes this morning for breakfast. I feel awful. You know when you hate yourself . Oh. The folks from duncan hines sent a cake over. The cake had it had red velvet and green it was red and green for the holidays. After all i ate, with you watching me yes. In private, secretly, i hunked off a piece that have cake and ate it. Youre not kidding. I feel totally like sugar high, disgusting. I do it every year.

I do wear the same things over and over again. Be joyous with your friends and cry with them, too, when theyre crying. If someone has hurt you, for some reason, give them a chance to make up for it. If they want to apologize, let them do it. I think sometimes you hold such a grudge and it gets bigger in your head as the weeks and months go along. Talk to them, get it over with. If they dont want you to forgive them, forgive them anyway. Youll feel better. By not forgiving them, youre hurting yourself. And if theyre really nasty, write them off. Gone.
