My obstacle is that I worry intimacy will create obligations I won’t want to or can’t fulfill. Everybody has vulnerabilities, and when you […]

You see a bunch of psychics and they all tell you you’ll get the thing you want and then… you don’t. Every five minutes you get a new sign that you and your beloved are supposed to be together buuuuut… s/he doesn’t return your phone calls. You have a strong intuition that you should do […]
