I’ve discovered something about myself recently. I’m a lot more forgiving than I’d thought. An online conversation with friends about a guy revealed this to me. I didn’t feel the same “dump him” feelings they did; my first thought was to give him a break. A few days later, someone did something to me thatContinueContinue reading “Return to Middle Earth – The Hobbit, Part I”
