Thank you, mom. I'll remember to come tattle if someone calls me names too. But honest Jim. No one was being deliberately cruel. We just wanted different things, and he said so right off. I can't fault anyone for being honest even if there's a sting to it. It's just been a hellova long time since I put myself out there at all. Forgot how much that can take outta ya.
